The clip application does not recognize the byte order mark, therefore Windows users may need to execute chcp 65001 before using the optimizer, to switch their console to UTF-8 and make the clip program work.
An external preprocessor is supported. If your system has a GNU C Compiler suite already installed, then the cpp that comes with it (or gcc adding the -E option) should be enough. If you don't have it, the recommended preprocessor is mcpp, because it's a standalone executable, easy to install. Download it from http://mcpp.sourceforge.net/download.html, unpack the executable somewhere in the system path (or specify the path to the executable every time with the --precmd option of the program) and you're ready to go.
