Ok, fine for ANSI cpp, what about traditional:

#define Concat3(a,b,c)a/**/b/**/c
#define Header /usr/include/stdio
#define Include Concat3(<,Header,.h>)
#include Include

does not work, neither does

#define Header /usr/include/stdio
#define MakeHeader(x) "x.h"
#define Include MakeHeader(x)
#include Include

nor anything else I've tried. Can you please tell me what might do the job
in traditional (best what would work with both old cccp and cpp)?

BTW: What's the reason why

#define Concat(a,b)a/**/b
#define Header /usr/include/stdio
Concat(Header,.h)
Concat(/usr/include/stdio,.h)

produces different output in cpp -traditional to old cccp -traditional
(which has identical output to /usr/ccs/lib/cpp in Solaris and /lib/cpp in
Irix)?
cpp puts an additional space at the beginning of each line and a space
between stdio and .h on the first line.
