Any UNIX C compiler that doesn't support the "-D" command-line option
should not be tossed aside lightly.
It should be thrown away with great force.

I know of no UNIX C compiler that can't do that. Perhaps there is one,
but, if there is, its author should be admonished that failing to
implement "-D" (and "-U") really really really really really really
really really really sucks.
MSVC++ uses "/D" for the same purpose, I think.
