[STR New]

It would be very helpful if ppdc had "predefined macros", the same way that
the C preprocessor has a number of predefined macros:

	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_preprocessor#Compiler-specific_predefined_macros

In particular, having a predefined macro for CUPS_VERSION for being able
to conditionally include elements based on the version of CUPS would be
very useful.  A "HOST_PLATFORM" or similar for indicating the platform
(Mac OS X, Linux, etc.) where ppdc is being run would also be useful. 
Others should also be considered.
