The Data General AOS/VS C compiler (and the DG/UX MV/Eclipse C
compiler which was the same beast repackaged for unix) had the
preprocessor as part of the tokenizer.  This is from the horse's
mouth, since I wrote the compiler front end, and the preprocessor
never was a separate program.  It started shipping in the 1982 time
frame.
