integrated cpplib and nonexistant input

Hi!
With integrated cpplib when somebody mistakenly starts cc1 or cc1plus with a
non-existant file, the result is abort():
c-lex.c:
223 if (! cpp_start_read (&parse_in, filename))
224 abort ();
I don't think this is appropriate (eventhough the driver should ensure the
input file exists, when debugging an ICE is quite strange), I think much
better would be to exit with some non-zero code at this point.
That's actually what cppmain.c does as well:
cppmain.c:
if (! cpp_start_read (pfile, CPP_OPTION (pfile, in_fname)))
return (FATAL_EXIT_CODE);
Also, gcc/configure.in has
AC_ARG_ENABLE(c-cpplib,
[ --enable-c-cpplib link cpplib directly into C and C++ compilers
(HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL).],
[if test x$enable_c_cpplib != xyes; then
maybe_cpplib=
fi]
)
IMHO the comment should speak about --disable-c-cpplib now that it is the
default and HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL is probably not appropriate either.
