The m4 file was contributed by Ivan F. Martinez. I must confess I never used
it, so I cannot judge if it is harmful or not.

The README file clearly enumerates what macro should be defined and why. 
milter-greylist does not require other macros to be removed, it just require
some macros to be defined. The m4 file define the nescessary macros.

If the m4 file cause unnescessary macros to be removed, then yes, it can 
be harmful for other milters. But I don't agree on calling this a bug: 
the documentation just claim that the m4 file will make sendmail working
with milter-greylist, it says nothing about Anthony Howe's software 
requirements (does it really crash, BTW? That would mean it lacks a 
basic sanity check when reading macros)

Any m4 expert here to improve that m4 file so that it just adds macros
and don't remove any? If there is a pitfall here it would be nice to 
improve things so that users cannot fall into it.
