Thanks Andrei and Wincent for the pointers. I've got it working in trunk ragel.

I've now got two very similar ragel source files. One for use with Ragel < 6.0 and the other for Ragel version >= 6.0.

I'd like to be able to create a ragel file that will compile in ragel 5.x and 6.x but didn't see any macro capability in Ragel.

I could use a simple preprocessor (probably Ruby ERB since the rest of the code is in Ruby) to process a single ragel source file and send the ouput to Ragel 6 or 5.25.
