 You are basically saying that the only preprocessor you will support
 is the one shipped with GCC.
 While that is "legally" ok from the point of the C standard,
 it is a very restrictive view.
 However, i suppose you have more important things to worry about,
 and i will (have, in fact) changed the tool we use.
 Thanks for considering this issue,
 Ted Merrill
