Hello Julia,

  I've attached a ripped down example to show the behaviour
    with regard to the #ifdef
  Without the --defined, nothing gets tranformed.
  I don't see a parsing problem so far.
  Perhaps you can have a look and get an idea why
    here the --defined is important.
  I've seen other transformations where this was not necessairy.

Best Regards,
  Robert
