At least nhc98 already does this. :-)

Well, perhaps for hsc2hs that is reasonable, but nhc98 currently
requires cpphs to be really installed, otherwise it can't compile any
module that needs cpp, and there are quite a lot of those out in the
wild. Thus, it seems sensible to install cpphs together with nhc98.
However, nhc98 won't mind in the slightest if somebody else installs
cpphs as well, or over the top of its own, or if they build it with Hugs
or ghc instead. The installation process for nhc98 could even refuse to
overwrite a pre-existing cpphs, if that were desirable.
