Yep. That is why it would be essential to use the original GNU 
preprocessor to keep the "pseudo c++" frontent for FPC as small as 
possible. Macros can do some magic tricks and might help to translate 
real c++ to "pseudo c++" in some place. Of course there is lots of stuff 
that can't be ported (such as multiple inheritance).
