Ingres preprocessor does parse C and CPP code as well, ecpg does not. It
only parses stuff after an exec sql keyword is found. The only way for
you get this going is to use "exec sql define" instead of "#define" as
the former is parsed an honored by ecpg. Of course you could as well try
running cpp over the files before but that won't always work.
