Markus,

Once had a look at it (from an editor point of view), and found out
the IScannerInfo was extended (IExtendedScannerInfo) with provisions
to hold preincludes. However the MBS ScannerInfo collector mechanism
does not seem to have a way to make use of that extension (at least I
never figured it out). 

Our compiler does generate a kind of preinclude file which currently I
have to parse for symbol definitions. Since this generated preinclude
file in turn contains #include statements for all other preincludes it
would be much simpler if I could just pass this file directly to
the scanner info. (just to let you know it would be greatly appreciated
if this feature could be supported:-)
