Can an rc file be made to #include /usr/include/sysexits.h or some
other file? This would be a useful thing IMO, if it doesn't already
exist. I'm thinking of something like what's done with C++/C headers:
extern "C" {
#include </usr/include/sysexits.h>
}
This would remove some of the hard-wiring in rc files. Comments?
Now procmail would at best have to be a C preprocessor, at worst a C
parser too. Remember, the procmail executable invoked and your
.procmailrc file read for each piece of mail you get - you want it to
be as lean-and-mean as possible.
