What I did on the Amiga was to add the #ifdefs in my sources as well
as in the include files, which permits you to be lazy but enables you
to "optimize" whenever I cared for it. Normally I prefer to go for
code clarity, because all the #ifdefs in the source is just
distracting. Basically, don't worry about it.
