It is faster. Mucher faster. Using cpp/gcc -E needs to
fork a new process for example.

And then of course using "gcc -E" would possibly cause
a GPL violatation. Not that it would matter very much
if wrc and friend were GPL:ed.

Obviously any GPL claim would be absurd as we discussed
to death in the great licensing flamewar but still.
