That's correct, two issues though:

 * Those conditions may not be met on the build machine where the library
   is consumed. For example it is perfectly valid for a system to not have
   <memory.h> and link to the library which was built on a system
   where the header was available.

 * None of the macros are prefixed so they will conflict with any
   autotools project which generates a config.h alike header.
