Just one of the reasons I want to move the invocation of m4 to build 
time.  As you've surely noticed by now, R4 is probably used in the 
internal macro for something and gets expanded.  There are certainly 
some quoting issues in the library that show up when called on more than 
1 footprint at a time.
