If you really want = and :=, I would recommend using Pascal.  If you
must use C for some reason, this is the way to do it.  But don't expect
me to work on the resulting code.

How?  Try it.  If you get it to work, I really want to know what macros
you used.  (I will almost certainly claim that your C compiler is
broken, too.)
