I used -E to get the pre-processor output and it shows my string constant ends 
up with the #ifdef inside it eg


   ......\n" #ifdef    ZZZZ "    ZZZZ stuff\n" #endif "\n\....

I looked for any obvious reason why that should happen, but cannot find anything.

if I remove the internal #ifdef and replace with a macro containing the 
conditional string or "" then MSVC 9 seems to be ok with it.
