I think it should be included in Boost.  It has an interesting design and
implementation.  Some of the macros I write for testing involve a lot of
repetition, and these macros would help a lot.  I took a look at the sample
with my compiler's preprocess option; it seemed to be OK.  The documentation
looks decent.

On a related note, should the index.html file for a library be placed in the
"doc" subdirectory, or should it go in that library's root?  Vesa has it
like:

+ boost
- libs
    - preprocessor
        + build
        - doc
            index.html
            (others)
        + src
        + test

I'm wondering if it should be like:

+ boost
- libs
    - preprocessor
        + build
        + doc
          index.html
        + src
        + test

instead so the index file can reference all the items, both HTML and
programming source.
