Re: Common code

I think I like the idea of #ifdef's actually.  It tells the programmer
exactly which header file they should be modifying.  I considered doing
this in the Makefile, by using "-I../@OSDIR@" instead of "-I.".  But I
think this is just confusing, and it just ends up hiding where the file is
really located.

I'm +1 for the ifdefs.
