Comment:
I am not sure of the reason why `-nocpp` is included, perhaps to avoid the overhead of calling a pre-processor at all. The way we package xrdb, it falls back to mcpp when another cpp is not available, since mcpp is installed as a dependency. The overhead, though, should be pretty minimal.
I don't see why we can't just omit the `-nocpp`. That way if a user wants pre-processor macros, they can avoid having to rerun xrdb, and avoid the possibility of having their Xresources parsed incorrectly the first time around.
