Someone really needs to add some macro/preprocessor magic into DTC  
so  this is made a lot simpler.

Kumar,

I am seriously contemplating this problem.
The trick is, I need to quit with the whole
Power Point Programmer job title for a bit...

I'm all for both of these things.  You working on getting DTC to have  
some macro/include ability and you not being a powerpoint
programmer.

Maybe we should make some time for all of us to get on IRC together to
discuss this?

I had some thoughts on what I think is a reasonably sane variable /
expression system for dtc.  Not quite the same thing as a macro
system, but a good start on one.

Although I also think we should still consider if using m4 as a
preprocessor (with some preloaded macros) could be sufficient.  Adding
expression and macro functions to dtc itself would be rather a lot of
work.
