Btw, had some time to do a test with this snippet:

#define PATHCMP stricmp

#if PATHCMP==stricmp
    #error Michael is wrong
#else
    #error Michael is right
#endif

and got these results:

C:> tcc -c test.c
test.c:4: error: #error Michael is wrong

C:> gcc -c test.c
test.c:4:6: error: #error Michael is wrong
     #error Michael is wrong
      ^

This surprises me a lot, as I thought it was only VS that was being "clever"
and had me tricked here.

Probably this was impl as an extension by some version of gcc onwards or is
it part of the standard now?
