I saw a clever solution on the net a while back; unfortunately I lost the
author.  Also, I added a few features.

-----------------------cut
#!/bin/sh

# Change these as needed
CC=/bin/cc
CPP=/lib/cpp

tfile1=/tmp/stra$$
tfile2=/tmp/strb$$.c

# My "strings" will read stdin, but the manpage doesn't guarantee that.
cat $CC $CPP > $tfile1
strings -a -2 $tfile1 |
 tr ' ' '\012' |
 sed 's/^-D//' |
 sort -u |
 awk '/^[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*$/ { printf "#ifdef %s\nZ__Z%s\n#endif\n", $0, $0 }' > $tfile2

$CC -E $tfile2 |
 sed -n 's/^Z__Z//p' |
 pr -i -t

/bin/rm $tfile1 $tfile2
exit
