If you want to ensure that options are passed to the preprocessor then they can be put in quotes rather than changing normal command line semantics to make a certain option "magic" in that it swallows all remaining options except the last one. This will confuse anyone who doesn't read the documentation carefully and realises -p does this. Paul.
