Is there a way, in EMACS, to pipe a section of code through a shell and 
then have that code re-inserted in place?

I've played with c-macro-expand but found the experience less than 
satisfying.  The text ends up in a separate window leaving me with an 
additional messy cut/paste step.

PS: Steps will likely be:

- change streq[n] to sane equivalents
- re-indent rougly half of GDB
the output of cpp is messy, I'm going to need to re-indent it, which 
means I'm going to need to re-indent befor the event
- this to-be-determined step
