+This script is a basic pre-processor which deals with conditionally excluding
+blocks of lines based on pre and post guard marker lines, a list of guard
+names to include in the output, and an input file.
+
+- Pre and post guard marker lines are always removed weather the are guards
+  are specified for inclusion or not.
+- Lines within guard blocks which are not specified for inclusion are always
+  removed.
+- Lines within guard blocks which are specified for inclusion will be always be
+  included in the output file.
+- All other lines not within guard blocks are always included in the output
+  file.
