My question here is:
If we are experiencing a problem with this, then why don't we nip it in
the butt and put #ifdef's in and a few other checks to make sure that
it'll cover itself? Another thing, (doing this from my head and I can't
get to the file right now), what do you do if you don't have the include
file? were gonna bomb over some small trivial function?(again, i can't
see the places it's actually at, but i've looked at this when it
originally came out, as i had this problem too)
To me, it's save many people's time/headaches/and suicidal tendencies
just to "throw in" a few checks for the include, and if no header file,
a workaround function. I know this takes up somebody's time, but it's
not like it's an unknown bug to trace down or something...we know what
needs done.
anyways, that's my 2.175 cents worth
