I agree with this. Only one detail about the path: what about use autoconfig to fill a define with the system and plataform instead to add code?
I thought about that, but it's a matter of accuracy where systems are compatible, but named differently. The only sure example I can think of is Intel-style processors - you can compile a program on an i386 and run it on an i686, for instance, or the other way around if you don't use Pentium-specific optimizations. If the various *BSDs are binary-compatible, that would be another case (i.e. if you can compile on FreeBSD and run on OpenBSD), but I don't know if that's possible. Kelson Vibber www.hyperborea.org
