On the topic of #if, I have stayed away from it because i have found a 
number of 'makedepend' variants that don't recognise '#if !defined ...' 
at all.
 
'makedepend' is too important a tool on large projects to be ignored. 
Even if it works on this system, it may not on the next 
(port=clone=plagerise?).
