Here is a patch which adds preliminary pre-processor support to xsubpp. There's a few caveats. #line will now be incorrect, since the #includes now occur BEFORE xsubpp gets to them (I wonder if there's a way to disable those directives). As soon as I get better testing done, I'll send this in to whoever is supposed to see it. To invoke, use xsubpp -preprocess blah
