And I'll bet rather highly that removing support for -traditional will break
compilation of X or X apps that use imakefiles. I haven't tried compiling
XFree86 with 2.96 lately, but the last time I tried it woudn't work.
Granted, using the C preprocessor to construct makefiles isn't exactly a
good idea. Now that 2.96s preprocessor is much pickier, some tricks won't
work.

At least IMO we *must* provide a way to keep cpp usable for the imake
configury, be that -traditional or any other flag that dumbs down cpp
enough.
