Right, so currently the .sql files are generated using the C 
pre-processor and so uses the CPP variable in addition to the ones 
defined above. I'm not sure what the correct command line should be to 
invoke the pre-processor in Sun's compiler is though.

I think we need to start thinking about ripping the CPP code out and 
finding something more suitable instead, particularly when thinking 
about building other platforms such as Win32/64. I'm not exactly sure 
what the replacement should be though :/


ATB,
