Simple pre-processing text

[Edward Glowacki]

What is the "right way" to include files in-line in a document,
i.e. take an input file that contains commands like "<input
file='chapter1.xml'>" or "#include 'chapter1.txt'" and generate
one large file from all the smaller pieces?  It would be really
easy to write in PERL, but I have this feeling that there's a more
elegant solution out there already...
