#205 Failure on conditional compilation directives

The formatter fails on conditional compilation directives ($IFDEF, etc).

It happens when attempting to format the SourceForge Report Manager project (http://reportman.sourceforge.net/)

How to deal with conditional compilation is an issue that has come up before, and I think documentation is now needed on how to deal with it.

Does this answer your questions? If not, how should I improve it?

A few suggestions :

1. Make the code intelligent, so that it reads the conditional defines in Project Options and also any $DEFINE/$UNDEFINE statements in the code

2. Recognize the $IFDEF .. $ELSE .. $ENDIF situation and handle it

3. Have an optional flag so that the formatter skips but doesn't fail on these situations (perhaps with a warning at the end of the reformatting)
