This may not work.
I know I had some problem with #warn and #warning with some code I was
working on, where some C compilers would only recognize one and other C
compilers would only recognize the other. Some of those compilers
would NOT let you '#ifdef' out the version that it did not recognize
(perhaps thinking that '#warn' or '#warning' might be some gross typo
for '#else' or '#endif', I guess...).
