+ 
+ we use a C preprocesor not only in the normal compilation of .c files
+ into object files, but also for creating
+ 
+       src/Makefile
+       lib-src/Makefile
+ 
+ (delimited by comment "start of cpp stuff").  some cpp implementations
+ insert whitespace in between tokens, which explains the "$(dot)$(dot)"
+ and "UNEXEC_ALIAS" workarounds for unixoid systems and the bundled
+ tradcpp/ for vms.  [NOTE: tradcpp/ not yet checked in.]
+ 
+ during makefile creation, the preprocessor symbol NOT_C_CODE is defined.
+ this should not be defined for normal .c file compilation.
+ 
+ there has been discussion on eliminating this use of cpp and relying
+ solely on autoconf processing.  rms says to leave it be.
