One has to be careful how this is done.  Remember that C preprocessors
have varying awareness of comment characters, etc...   The following
was causing the Sisal preprocessor (a CPP hack as described) to bomb.
The % is a comment character.

		for initial			% Can't do it too much

The problem was that Sisal uses Mark-to-endofline comments.  The CPP
was getting confused over the single quote without matching end quote!
