Oh, I see...

How about writing a small wrapper script that does this special preprocessing
and passing that output to xgettext ? This would of course be a bad hack,
especially since it wouldn't catch other #defines.

Or even write a wrapper script that calls the cpp preprocessor on a source
file and feed the preprocessed source to xgettext ? I'm not sure whether this
could result in unwanted extra strings or something like that...
