Could someone help with the following questions about the proposed ANSI C
standard?  I've checked K&R2, with inclusive results.

First, I'd like to know if a #if in one file can be matched by a #else or #endif
in another file.

Second, I'd like to know if when one is skipping over tokens looking for a #else
or #endif, one is entitled to skip #include directives without substituting the
file.

Thanks,
Rich
