Apparently these do exist, since when I 
#define __FILE__ foo_bar
I get a re-definition error....

I still have NO CLUE how to get these to display during compile 
times.  I think it rediculuous that #message does not exist,
or that #warning does not expand macro's.
Thats why people use Borland, etc.

PLEASE if you can provide a REAL, working example
for how GCC, or a MAKE file, can display the actual
date, time of Compile, please show me. THANKS.
