If it's not in the trunk, I won't see the #ifdef and you'll have to deal with the breakage. Whoever does porting work has to deal w/ the breakage, anyway, regardless of the intention/care of others. I appreciate your saying you would take care, but the care you take is not the only factor. But that's enough from me on this topic. thi
