I was afraid of this when I saw the first remark about cpp.
*Please* don't do this. cpp is *not* a general-purpose macro
preprocessor. The X people made that mistake with imake, and have
accreted a huge pile of hackery to get around the consequences thereof,
from XCOMM to @@ to some ugly attempts in C code to intuit how this
particular preprocessor works.
Run your config files through cpp if you must. But please don't
inflict it on the rest of us.
