This looks pretty nice except for one bit that seems a little
unfortunate:

That's an awfully generic name to be camping out on, especially with
the existing /usr/lib/cpp, *and* with a cpp(1) man page delivered as
part of the system.  This seems quite likely to me to lead to future
problems -- such as ./configure-like scripts (and users!) mistakenly
detecting one but not the other.

No, before you ask, I don't have a good solution for it in mind.
