The preprocessor is sed. It is handled by the GNU make makefile.
I have used the Kawa makefiles successfully on Windows using Cygwin. The
only change is to add a couple `cygpath -wp` translations where the
makefiles call Java. At the moment that is probably the most direct route
to building Kawa on Windows.
I am working on an Ant build for Kawa, which will effectively eliminate the
cross platform issues. I would have had that done already but the need to
do cygpath under Cygwin for Java got me completely off-track by trying to
build Kaffe for Cygwin (I also started working on a Cygwin Java launcher
for the Sun JDK).
