-The '#elif' preprocessor directive is not understood on all systems.
-Specifically, I know that Pyramids don't understand it.  Thus instead of the

-	#if defined(I_FOO)
-	#  include <foo.h>
-	#elif defined(I_BAR)
-	#  include <bar.h>
-	#else
-	#  include <fubar.h>

-You have to do the more Byzantine
-
-	#if defined(I_FOO)
-	#  include <foo.h>

-	#  if defined(I_BAR)
-	#    include <bar.h>
-	#  else
-	#    include <fubar.h>
-	#  endif
-	#endif

-Incidentally, whitespace between the leading '#' and the preprocessor
-command is not guaranteed, but is very portable and you may use it freely.
-I think it makes things a bit more readable, especially once things get
-rather deeply nested.  I also think that things should almost never get
-too deeply nested,  so it ought to be a moot point :-)
