+
+ Uh, well, I guess it would be possible. But I have some concerns:
+
+ 1. ppport.h is already too big. :-)
+
+ 2. There is code in ppport.h to actually remove an
+
+ #include "ppport.h"
+
+ if it appears not to be needed. If it's not needed in your
+ included file, it might be dropped from there and moved to
+ the other file that included the first one. This would make
+ the logic much more complicated.
+
+ 3. As ppport.h is configurable, it's not (always) a good idea
+ to put it into a file that's included from another file.
+
+ I guess I'll have to think about this a little more. Maybe I can
+ come up with a fancy solution that doesn't increase the code size
+ too much.

+
+ I don't think so. Because :
+ 1. your redefinition of SVt_PBVM is probably what most XS modules want
+ 2. anyway, if we remove it from the core, it might appear in Devel::PPPort :)
