 Agreed. And in the case of system specific header use the system specific
macro to guard e.g.:

+                                                                               
+#ifndef __linux__                                                              
+#include <iso/limits_iso.h>                                                    
+#endif                 

should probably be rewritten as

#ifdef __sun__
#include <iso/limits_iso.h>
#endif

or with whatever the macro should be on your platform, so that if someone
tries to compile on say AIX it doesn't break on an inexistant header but
rather if there is a missing reference in the code itself.

  thanks,

Daniel
