I've added that switch. Now if you run jal with the "-P" switch, it will
invoke cpp for you.
Compiling the example of the previous message would become:

$ jal -P silly-example.jal

(jal will call cpp handling automatically the temporary file creation and
removal).

You can also specify a different "cpp" passing a command string to -P, as in:

$ jal -P/usr/local/bin/cpp silly-example.jal

you can pass complex commands quoting with simple or double quotes the
command:

$ jal -P'/usr/local/bin/cpp -funny' silly-example.jal

I can't check if CVS has been updated recently (it goes in time-out right
now), so I'm providing a patch against the CVS version without my previous
patch. In other words, this patch supersedes the previous one.

Cheers,
Marco
