I am not one bit happy with it. I don't want to go through this all
the time:
vi locore.S
File not found
[JDP: Grrr, this is 4.0, so it's .s not .S, *grumble*]
vi locore.s
And MFCs aren't going to be much fun either. To me the whole exercise
seems entirely gratuitous just to solve a problem which never comes up
in normal use and which could be solved by other less intrusive means.
In any case (since it appears I've already lost this argument), please
please please rename _all_ of the .s files or _none_ of them. If I
need to edit an assembly language file, I don't want to have to think
about whether it probably uses the preprocessor or not. And I don't
want to have to do yet another repo copy each time a file goes from
not using the preprocessor to using it.
