I agree that you shouldn't use the preprocessor for metaprogramming, it sucks. Switching to C++ is not a solution either since its template system is garbage for metaprogramming aswell.

Starting small with a small utility such as this one or creating one of your own is the best aproach in my opinion.

How are templates garbage? They are one of the most sophisticated metaprogramming tools out there I know of.
