... but this is not common for ESQL preprocessors. The problem is that
the preprocessor runs before the C/C++ preprocessor, which is the step
which actually handles the #if constructs. ecpg has no knowledge of
those constructs. Remember that to do those correctly one must also
resolve all other preprocessor kinds of things, like #include
directives.
