I talked with Nicola about that at FOSDEM. I also think that a 
preprocessor would be very useful, not only for Windows but also for 
Linux and Solaris with alternative compilers (like the Sun compiler or 
the Intel compiler).

Problem is, that to write such a preprocessor you need to implement a 
full ANSI-C parser which is not exactly trivial ... Maybe one could use 
LCC as a basis.
