Yes, I've seen it, thanks. It looks like one of the most complete 
preprocessing systems. I've also looked at EPP, Jaco, and others.

It seems to me that this project is far more complete and comprehensive 
than the idea I'm playing with. I also don't want the java code to be 
incompatible with normal compilers (hence the comment), and to KISS 
there should be no info to the processor on the context of the file, 
just what pertains to it. It's up to the programmer to ensure that 
references to objects are correct.
