The reason to combine them is that the point of abstraction between the compilers / interpreters lives in areas like "preprocess this file", "build this file", "install this library", not in operations like you mentioned:
I mentioned the second two of those, but not the first one. Preprocessing files, however, doesn't sound like an operation that needs to be done in a compiler/interpreter-specific way. [...]
At least in a restricted sense it i*is* compiler/interpreter-specific, because one has to #define some magic things like __HUGS__, __GLASGOW_HASKELL__, etc. to get conditional compilation right. Cheers, S.
