I don't see anything good for trivial preprocessing: * "scmxlate" appears too complex to get going. * "cpp" is a disaster for Lisp (it wants to parse '...' as character constants) * "m4" is easy to get wrong, and has too much functionality. I think I could create a simple "#ifdef ... #elifdef... #else... #endif" preprocessor in awk (which is in the POSIX standard) that would do the job. Then the whole thing could be in one file, and generate variations for different purposes. For those Schemes with cond-expand, we could put them in one file, so we wouldn't have to generate too many files. --- David A.
