The new MFD rewrites '#ifdef ARCH' to include stuff, with an ending '#else' to issue a warning for other platforms. >>>>> On Thu, 09 Feb 2006 00:52:19 +0100, Thomas Anders >>>>> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: Thomas> As for the benefits of doing so, it's not only the mentioned "bail Thomas> early" factor.
