This level of opprobrium is not constructive.  cpplib's interface is
not well documented; I am not surprised that Jim was confused enough
that he thought it couldn't do what he wanted.

I *think* that plain old cpp_get_token ought to handle returning
tokens one at a time as Jim needs, unless I've misunderstood something
about the problem.  I'll be happy to work with Jim to clarify how to
use cpplib, and/or add features so that GDB can use it.
