	AH ! :-)

	You're using Solaris. Well, there is some fearsome problem with the
solaris pre-processor that I don't understand.

	Laca OTOH does understand the problem: perhaps he can help. My feeling
is long term, that we don't want libIDL to depend on a specific gpp
version - and we should move towards implementing our own, internal,
cut-down, simple pre-processor.

	It's a pretty noddy project to write a little read-time pre-processor
that handles the modest set of constructions we have in C. Any takers ?

	Regards,

		Michael.
