To repeat my point, in bringing this little jihad up in the first point.. I
have to point back to the pkg which originally brought it to my attention..

Its a simple audio pkg, that is designed to work on both Msdos, and unix.  The
author, with careful use of a unix define, is able to quickly kill all the unix
code when compiled on dos, and vice versa.. System dependent attributes are
actually nested *inside* the unix define.  

This is, without a doubt in my mind, a perfect example of how to use a unix
define.  Use it to section out things that are _definately not unix_ and do the
vendor twiddles inside.
