I agree 100%.  I'm going to change ipfw so that the syntax for the preprocessor
becomes:

ipfw [-q] [-p preprocessor [preprocessor_arguments]] file

This will allow for a passing -traditional to cpp and a wider array of
preprocessor in general.  It does allow one to make mistakes more easily, but is
a general solution to the problem.

I'll post the changes when I am done.
