Nice!  I ran the GHC parser tests using your preprocessor, and get 9 failures 
out of 27 in the should_compile class.   Some of these are bogus (problems with 
the lexer you're using rather than the layout preprocessor).  The should_fail 
class all failed, but that's because column numbers are different in the 
preprocessed result, so the error messages changed, I'll need to look at these 
individually.

I've attached a patch that corrects a couple of the failures in the 
should_compile class.

Cheers,
        Simon
