c-macro-expand with C++?

[Hattuari <susudata@setidava.kushan.aa>]

I've been trying to use c-macro-expand (for the first time in any language)
with C++ code.  It doesn't seem to know how to find the standard headers. 
I'm a bit confused by that since I am under the impression that GCC looks
in its own installation directories automatically.  

Here's an example of what the output looks like:

In file included from /home/hattons/opt/org/osg/include/osg/StateSet:18,
                 from /home/hattons/opt/org/osg/include/osg/Node:19,
                 from <stdin>:17:
/home/hattons/opt/org/osg/include/osg/StateAttribute:21:20: typeinfo: No
such file or directory
/home/hattons/opt/org/osg/include/osg/StateAttribute:22:19: utility: No such
file or directory
/home/hattons/opt/org/osg/include/osg/StateAttribute:23:18: vector: No such

                 from /home/hattons/opt/org/osg/include/osg/Node:19,
                 from <stdin>:17:

                 from <stdin>:17:

I tried giving it /usr/include and /usr/include/g++ (which is where I found
what look to be the standard headers.)

ls /usr/include/g++/
algorithm  cctype   clocale  cstdarg  ctime     exception           
i586-suse-linux  istream   map      queue      streambuf  vector
backward   cerrno   cmath    cstddef  cwchar    exception_defines.h  iomanip

bitset     ciso646  csetjmp  cstdlib  cxxabi.h  fstream              iosfwd

cassert    climits  csignal  cstring  deque     functional          
iostream         locale    ostream  stdexcept  valarray

Can this be made to work?
