I'm a bit behind getting to this; I think some python-list posts got
stuck somewhere (maybe in the news->list gateway?). Anyway: The reason
I didn't was simply that m4 came up first. I was familiar with the C
preprocessor and PPWizard (which is designed for HTML), and simply
went looking for a generic one. And yes, I had seriously contemplated
using the C preprocessor (from gcc), but there was a reason not to
(don't remember now, but I'm guessing it'll be the conflict between
hash comments in PHP and hash directives to cpp).
