I think that any Amforth pre-processing code should syntactically look very different from the surrounding Amforth code. Mixing Gforth with Amforth may lead to confusion where the code actually executes. All Unix tools are easily available now in windows. We just need to decide which tool is most suitable for adapting a generic Forth library code for a particular AVR MCU. I see this tool utilized at Amforth install stage. Perhaps it would unify those appl/ projects... Comments please.
