Yeah.  I was thinking to use tradcpp - single source file, bsd licensed,
that  can act just like cpp and we can include it as part of the build.
 But that can wait for now.

I've tried to build it and there are some missing pieces still in
configure.ac, Makefile.am.  I'm hacking on it now :)

But - is any of this expected to work yet, or were you just filling in
pieces first?

It would help to know what is expected to work and what isn't at this
stage.  Again, thanks for the effort!
