Isn't the free preprocessor likely to disagree with the (New! Improved :-)
compiler?  I would want the output from such a preprocessor to accurately
reflect the interpretation the compiler would place on the code, and if the two
programs don't agree about what the source code means, then the output of a
separate preprocessor is next to useless!
