You can run cpp with function readProcess, as done in function  
readHeaderFile in
https://github.com/wxHaskell/wxHaskell/blob/master/wxdirect/src/ParseC.hs

Windows does not come with cpp; one can install MinGW for this purpose.

Another option could be the cpphs package; the documentation has  
disappeared from haskell.org, but can be found in the Web Archive[0].
