I certainly agree with the "dev"s on not reinventing the wheel 
(preprocessors) but maybe a simple compromise would be a command line 
option that invoked the preprocessor of our choice.  OTOH anyone capable 
of setting up the preprocessor commands could probably write the simple 
script to cause the preprocessor to be invoked followed by a call to Lily.
