That is in fact closely related to the issue. The old K&R preprocessor
allowed that as a hack; ANSI C required that comments expand to spaces, and
provided new # and ## operations for token splicing --- but these require
valid C tokens.

    # define ProjectRulesFile       Concat3(<,TopLevelProject,.rules>)

may happen to work if you update it to use ANSI token splicing --- but I
doubt it, since it's designed for valid C tokens and you're trying to
generate a single invalid C token.

Also watch what happens with single quoted strings when xmkmf expands
macros in Imakefiles.
