maybe - though I'd have to test & see that the different preprocessor
agree (some people tend to think that if it works in gcc, it's portable -
I can remember an order-of-evaluation problem in gcc which the GNU people
had to abandon 4-5 years ago because it wasn't ANSI compatible)

yes - I'd rather do stuff like that early in a cycle.  This week I'm working
to finish off changes for xterm for a code freeze in XFree86, then (unless
people have different ideas) it's time to do the same for lynx.
