So maybe you want to use C's pre-processor directives in FPC? Well son, I have
the answer for you.

Let's take thia Pascal code and do some CPP directives within it.

    #define progName HelloWorld
    #define msg 'Hello world'
    program progName;

    begin
        writeln(msg);
    end.

Now we can take this file and type it in as standard input to the `cat` program
and once you are done you flush that data out with a Ctrl+D.

So here is the command set:

cat | cpp > file.pas ; fpc file.pas

Now this should work (provided fpc doesn't interpret the #'s that cpp outputs).
