The Portable Object Compiler is such a preprocessor, for Objective-C.

See the pages, that I maintain on this:

http://www.can.nl/~stes/compiler.html
http://cage.rug.ac.be/~stes/compiler.html

It translates the Objective-C specific constructs into ANSI-C, and
whereever the ObjC language overlaps with C, it's simply dumping its
input literally (i.e. ANSI-C + ANSI-C extensions like, for example,
gcc's), without doing any other translation.
