   The compiler should never care, it should just remember the line and
   filename for error and warning messages.

I meant just that, I was too terse...

I think that the same people that would be annoyed by etags ignoring
#line would be equally annoyed by a compiler giving messages pointing to
the "wrong" file, so etags should not worry about #line directives
pointing to nonexistent files.
