No. It is just text replacement too me. A macro preprocessor has marco in
it. You can do many things like convoluted #if, #define (with many levels).

Basicly what I does is a script for each configuration (for example Linux,
Windows...) and each script is a simple suite of sed commands. Nothing 
fancy :)

We are talking about different Export/Import directives here. For more complex
stuff I just duplicate the spec.

> Are macros more or less evil than #if things?

No macro as I said.
