my $0.02: that is just so LAME. why not
include
#if linux
 linux
#elsif win32
 win32
#else
 dos
#endif
       .
#if linux
          eu
#elsif win32
          ew
#else
          e
#endif
   for
#if linux
       l
#elsif win32
       w
#else
       d
#endif
         =
....

OR
==
write/use include files which run on multiple platforms

OR
==
write a stub for each platform:
main.eu:
include linux.eu
include main.e

main.ew:
include win32.ew
include main.e

main.ex
include dos.ex
include main.e

why, oh why, mangle a platform-independent language just because you
cannot write platform-independent includes?????!!???
