Yeah, that was the intent. In many places the conditioned code 
dereferences p->rt.* and the compiler complains. So I added a couple 
#ifdefs to make it build until something better comes to mind. This 
particular one was unnecessary.

I'm on prettifying the whole thing at the moment. I wanted early 
comments and so far they're all meaning the same thing which is good.
