In that case a piece of code applied to both Linux and FreeBSD
platforms. I didn't see the need to duplicate the code with IFDEF
statements - thus making code management more work.

So use "$IF defined" to accept more that one define for a block of code.

I live on coffee and Red Bull at the moment. Trying to survive lots of
sleepless nights due to a little human teething! :-(

Or how does the other saying go:
   Computer Programmer: We convert coffee and pizza into source code.
