[boost] preprocessor lib question

How can I make a macro which, given an integer N, generates a sequence
of
N concatenated Xs?

IOW,

    Xs(0)  ->
    Xs(5)  -> XXXXX

...and so forth?

Fortunately, in my case I need a string literal so I don't actually need
to catenate them (I can rely on "X" "X" "X" to generate "XXX") but the
problem still looks unreasonably hard-to-solve with BPPL.

TIA,
Dave
