id-utils Fails to Parse Indented C Preprocessor Statements.

[Ralph Corderoy]

mkid(1), and therefore xtokid(1), seem to get confused by indented C
preprocessor statements.

    $ cat id-utils-bug.c
    #include "foo.h"
    #ifdef BAR
      #include <bar.h>
    #endif
    foo bar
    $ xtokid id-utils-bug.c
    foo.h
    BAR
    include
    bar
    h
    foo
    bar

The indented line is generating a token for `include', and `bar.h'
should be one token like `foo.h' was before it.

This is id-utils version 3.2d-10.

It's fixed in GNU's CVS already, but id-utils is without a maintainer so
I guess that's why, despite the bug fix being in 1999, it hasn't made it
into a new release. Perhaps Debian can include some of the patches?
