Henrik Krebs posted a home grown preprocessor many years ago.  It isn't too
hard to do.  Make a separate routing entry that drives your compiles through
your own command processor instead of QCMD.  When it sees a CRTRPGPGM, etc.
command, it opens the source member, reads the special preprocessor
'comments' and constructs a new job stream by sending OVRxx and the like as
request messages to QCMD.  When all done, literally CALL QCMD which reads
the request messages and processes them.  Non-CRTxxx commands can simply be
echoed as request messages to QCMD.
