I could use m4 or camlp4 or whatever, if GNU autoconf and assorted
auto* -tools would produce them.
People seem to have missed the actual problem I have posed: what is
the most convenient and hassle-free mechanism for transporting
information produced by running ./configure to O'Caml source code?
Such features include directory prefixes, auxiliary program paths,
various constants, features {en,dis}abled with --enable-X and alike.
I'm *NOT* trying to use the preprocessor for any weird syntactic
abstractions or anything of that kind.
>From the answers I've seen so far, no common, truly convenient and
completely hassle-free mechanism exists. Hopefully this problem will
find a clean solution some day. In the meantime I can live with -pp cpp
and bite a few small kludges, like adding a (*don't remove me*) ;-)
