I'm not sure how "Someone appears to have already hacked up" enters the
picture,
but Solaris has had a standalone, fairly lightweight preprocessor shipping for
ages. The "C" preprocessor is used by a bunch of languages besides "C" so when
Sun
unbundled the rest of the compiler at some time in the depths of history one of
the
result was a standalone preprocessor.
