Hi,

There's not been much feedback on this topic, but I'd like to add my feedback:
Depending on "cpp" was quite safe in the old time as all C compiler did bring 
it; however this is no more guaranteed:
- most users don't need the compiler, so most distro don't install it by 
default;
- some compilers, like llvm/clang, do not provide it anymore (for very good 
reason, in the case of clang)

So it is an idea I support (and on which I'll try to help - provided I find 
some time).

Now remains the most important question: by what do we replace it?
 - another language? -> another dependency
 - provide with wmaker our own preprocessor? -> probably overkill
 - handle this inside wmaker directly? -> more complexity, risk of bugs

Personally, I'd vote for 3rd, and propose either sh/awk/sed for 1st to depend 
on something widely available (and POSIX).

Please note however that I've not yet checked where it is being used...

Christophe.
