Hello everyone,

I am a student preparing for GSoC and I am interested in the project _“Support of external third-party preprocessors in fpm”_.

I understand that the goal of this project is to integrate tools like `fypp` into fpm so that users do not need to run the preprocessor manually before building their projects.

I am currently learning fpm and experimenting with fypp, and I would like to start contributing.

Could you please guide me on how to get started and whether there are any beginner-friendly issues or tasks related to this project?

Thank you.
