Now that https://github.com/cake-build/cake/pull/1858 is merged it would be nice if script processing also would honor defines. E.g. conditionally load files or install addins/tools.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the merged pull request 1858 and the script-processing entry points it changed. Trace how #if defines are handled, then determine the existing tests for conditional loading and addin/tool installation; done means script processing honors defines for those operations.
