Judges’ remarks:

The program uses error messages issued by the C Preprocessor to generate its message to the world. One program’s error is another program’s data!

Author’s remarks:

This program is yet another “Hello World.” program with a twist. The string Hello World has been encoded in the error messages the compiler generates when compiling the source.
