how can I collapse multiple lines into one line with the m4 preprocessor?

Question

We have an internal configuration file that processes lines one by one. Unfortunately, the lines have gotten really big over time. The config processor does an m4 pre-process on the config file. Is there a way for me to collapse multiple (readable) lines into one line using m4?
