I just wanted to interject a note about auto* here -- if you do use it, it is generally better not to look at OS/arch and instead just write feature tests. This gets the most benefit and there is a long history showing this has less maintenance burden and better portability. I don't have an opinion on whether to keep TARGET_*, as libgcj has its own native layer and is not likely to switch. Just FYI, libgcj's approach is a hybrid -- for Unixy systems we use autoconf feature tests, but we treat Windows as a separate "flavor" with its own implementation of native things.
