Well, cpp worked ok as long as the weird chars (:))are not used in
macros or #define/#ifdef. Unmatched single quotes will produce
warnings but cause no problems. As for m4, quotes may be a problem,
need to be redefined (to what I dont know). BTW cpp is multi platform,
I use it on DOS machines (same command line as unix: gcc -x c -E -P).
