I would recommend against that. The problem is that cpp "knows" about C, and
different implementations may do different things if the input isn't valid C.
For example, some tokenize to C tokens on input (like one I used on a DEC20)
and will make a complete hash of things:

	(This is a "string" "like this"\367)

Might become:

	( This is a "stringlike this" ? 367 )

Use sed, or m4, or some other generalised text processing or macro tool.
