FWIW I wrote a lex/yacc based Fortran 77 source code parser which is
used in both SCB and the big-datasets project. This enables you
to manipulate fortran source without the kind of cpp surprises
that you mention above. It probably is the best way to tackle
huge volumes of fortran (the whole USSC), but given that the amount
of platform-dependent code is quite small something more off-the-shelf
like cpp/fpp is probably more appropriate.
