In the case of startx / xinitrc I think it is possible to get rid of

The case of xrdb is more problematic. There the use of cpp to
preprocess resources files at run time is a feature (and it depends on
a "traditional" pre-processour). For this case using tradcpp (pointed
out by Thomas Klausner further down this thread) is indeed the way to
go.
Right - build time uses such as startx & xinitrc should be replacable
with a bit of work, such as Gaetan did in the past to use sed instead
of cpp on a bunch of man pages.
I think we're pretty much stuck with the runtime calls in xrdb & imake
though.
