I don't think I understand what you mean.
Are you saying that you don't think it is better to use build systems to
manage what files get compiled instead of abusing the C preprocessor for it?

What is yours?

Did you actually look at the change to see what it does, or only the
diffstat? I think an increase of 14(!) lines is an acceptable cost
for something that approaches actual abstraction as opposed to an
ugly static hack.

I think that is completely irrelevant for such a trivial matter.

I think it is absolutely apalling that there is so much build system
crap in the libssh2 repo which isn't feature complete. I consider it
a defect of our project and can not understand that it would be used
in support of any proposed change.
The reality is that everyone who contributed all the various build
system files either do not care or are not capable of fixing that,
and Daniel only cares about what he himself uses.
I also care about the NMakefiles, and I can't belive that you are
bitching about computational complexity for commits that add a
conditional or two to build files... I find it out of proportion,
to be polite.
