Eep.. :)

Well, I figured that much.. but this does not help me much :)

I'm asking more from the standpoint of submitting fixes back to authors
of various ported software; e.g. right now, I'm struggling with a big
piece of software which has a *lot* of:

#if defined(BSDI)
#include <malloc.h>
#else
#include <stdlib.h>
#endif

I could easily change that to defined(BSDI) || defined(__FreeBSD__),
but.. you mean there really is no way to do this better? :\

Thanks anyway, though.

G'luck,
Peter
