Nuts, Herman once named such a processor in private mail to me. It was
incomprehensible and had no documentation, but he seemed to like it.

From what he's said, you don't need anything particularly powerfull.
Any good template macro processor ought to be able to do what he
wants. MORTRAN spring to mind, and it's 15 or 20 years old.
