I agree - I assume we get the pre-processing directives into the
master classpath source.  The whole point of preprocessing is to
have a single source base.

An alternative is a more intelligent pre-processor: I.e. "replace
method foo(String) in file java/lang/X.java with this".  Loosely
a more intelligent patch.  But that's harder to write.  It could
be integrated into the compiler (since the compiler understands
Java syntax), but it's still difficult.
