There's always m4, but that has its own set of issues.

Not sure if I should add a :-) or a :-(.

You could also s/#/$/g on the source and pass that through cpp and
then undo it on the other side.  Assuming that cpp has been compiled
with $ in symbol name support.

The root of the problem here is that the original openfirmware spec
wasn't 'C' and many of the new language features are aimed at a 'C'
audience...
