Why should I rename the sample.cfg? The '&' isn't in the filename, but
in the contents of the file. The contents of the file are inserted
literally in the IPF-file at the .im-statement, so IPFC complains about the
contents of sample.cfg.
I could ofcourse automatically replace the '&' with '&.' and
back to '&' again after running IPFC, from a makefile using sed or
something like that, but it would be easier if it is possible to include a
file literally, without interpreting it as IPF-code.
