Can't you get the same effect by using a build tool like gnumake? Gnumake is
about as standard as they come. I'm pretty sure gnu has a pre-processor that
should be available on every platorm gnumake is as well.
Personally, I would greatly support the decision not to add a pre-compiler.
Anyone who has ever tried to track down a problem in the source code of
gnu-emacs knows what a nightmare such code can turn into. It is anathema to
the primary Ada goal of easy to understand code.
