Importing tradcpp (traditional (K&R-style) C macro preprocessor) into base?

[Baptiste Daroussin]

Hi,

I have been working in importing tradcpp (developped by David A. Holland from
NetBSD) into the ports tree, it is a traditional (K&R-style) C macro
preprocessor BSD licensed. I first worked on it so that imake can work properly
without gcc.

I discovered that some part of the base system still needs a traditional
preprocessor, like (calendar), what I propose it to import tradcpp into the base
system (not the version in port right now but what will become version 0.2).

It mostly behave like gcpp, and I'm able to properly use calendar along with
tradcpp with this small patch: http://people.freebsd.org/~bapt/tradcpp.diff

Any objections against me importing it?

regards,
Bapt
