Silly question -- I need a UNIX preprocessor

     I am trying to build general X stuff, and I can't seem to get the
Makefile's generated without substantial work -- going through and
changing every comment from #-style comments to /* */ (I suppose I could
automate the whole thing with sed or something).  However, it would seem
to me that a traditional pre-processor is needed.  I almost got
gcc-1.4's preprocessor to do what I wanted, but it didn't like

XCOMM = #
[and]
## if

I also tried the cpp in comp.unix.sources/volume1, but it was also
ANSIized (sort of) and the one in Emacs (almost worked again).

The main problem is that "## if" construct.

Am I missing something really big?
Thanks
