	One problem with #ifdef as opposed to commenting something out
is that the current version of GCC seems to (try to) parse character
constants inside #ifdef blocks.  Use of apostrophes inside #ifdef
comment blocks caused me fits while trying to port the Rand editor,
for example.  Previous versions of the compiler didn't care.
