[OpenSIPS-Users] RFC: text pre-processing in OpenSIPS cfg file

[Pauba, Kevin L]

The GNU M4 Manual gives lots of simple examples.  Reading the two (very short) sections http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/manual/m4.html#Ifdef and http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/manual/m4.html#Include, you can do something like this:

define(`foo',1)
ifdef(`foo',include(`foo.m4'))

But it's really hard to sway the "don't like" argument -- I don't like beef liver and nothing you say will change my mind.

I honestly didn't like using M4. And it's not an opensips thing, it's
an M4 thing. I just don't like M4. I'm sure it can be attributed to me
not really knowing it, but I found that I couldn't really do what I
wanted with it without some sort of hacking. I wanted to do
conditional includes and such. Maybe all I needed was some good
examples.

Is there anyway to build m4 into the opensips pre-processor? so
opensips can just run the m4 file?
