It would perhaps be worth trying to detect the m4 version from autoconf and alerting the user if it doesn't have esyscmd capability.
That makes sense to me. ...maybe we could write a little m4 script that checks for the existence of the needed m4 macros with ifdef???
    Nope, just let them fix their build tools. If a user depends
    on being able to run buildconf on a broken system, she shall
    install GNU m4 (it is probably easily available through the
    OpenBSD ports mechanism).

Warning people that their build tools are not sufficient would not hurt anyone! :) - Zak
