Re: Standard Ada Preprocessor

[Marin David Condic <nobody@noplace.com>]

Well, there you go. Ada doesn't provide a "standard" way to do it - 
perhaps out of some sense of technical purity. People still find it an 
attractive way to fix the problems they have maintaining things for two 
or more platforms. What do they do? They home-grow an answer that solves 
their problem (while not being portable) - or they go use a language 
that gives them what they want.
