Also you can use a quick cheat for these kind of things, like this BAT file:

------
REM @echo off
REM ASM30 %*

@REM make a copy of the original source with the extention .ASM
MOVE %3 %~n3.ASM

@REM run the preprocessor and create a file with the name of the original
source
@REM you may be able to use C30's compiler tool for this too, I have not
check it yet
"D:\MinGW\bin\cpp.exe" -E %~n3.ASM -o %3

@REM run the assembler
"D:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB ASM30 Suite\bin\pic30-as.exe" %*

@REM to keep the macro expansion for diagnostics
MOVE %3 %~n3.MAC

@REM copy back the original source
MOVE %~n3.ASM %3
------

So if you change the toolsuit settings to use this bat file instead of the
assembler, then you can achieve the goal for the moment - it could have some
circumstances when it may fail though.
