I have developed a gnu-cpp(1) system to parametrize my squid configuration.
Works like a charm.

Simpy create a "master" configuration file,
prefix it with

#!/lib/cpp -lang-c89

and make it executable.

I then added

#if !defined(HOST2) && !defined(HOST1)
#define HOST1
#endif

this sets a default

#ifdef HOST1
directive_for host1
#endif
#ifdef HOST2
directive_for host2
#endif

directive_for both hosts

the -lang-c89 flag is needed so that cpp won't interpret // as comment
initiator.

To perform configuration, run (!) the configuration file with no arguments
for HOST1, and with arg -DHOST2 for host 2 (and so on).
it will spit on stdout the configuration file proper. Ignore the warning
about the
syntax error on line 1. It's just cpp not liking the #!.
