I looked into this once, rms. It's not worth the effort with the
implementation as described in CCCP. Otherwise I would have done it
already (even then it's not a gauruntee your code will find it's way
into distribution). It'll have to be redesigned by the person who
implements the precompiler - working it backwards the way it has been
done I think was a real mistake.

You'd be better off picking up performance by piping CCCP's output
to CC1/CC1PLUS on platforms that support it.
