Hey Guys,
Providing a couple pound defines doesn't mean that you will
automatically start writing conditionally compiled code. On the other
hand, not providing pound defines prevents other people from writing
conditionally compiled code. It would be nice to make every body
happy (peace, love, and all ya know baby ;).
On a slightly different but related topic...
(I apologize if this is already in place)
It might be nice to be able to determine from within a nano-X client
if the nano-X server is the same revision.
