For the sake of completeness, I want to note that the standard
distribution includes Tools/Scripts/ifdef.py, and pyparsing now
has an example macro preprocessor.  Neither of these would be
the correct response to the original question, of course, but 
they might interest other readers who believe they need "c-like
macros".
