Thanks, I worked those out too, save for the last point you made. Do
you mean this sort of thing:

  #if COND
  if (something)
    foo();
  else
    bar();
  #else
  bar();
  #endif

To be rewritten as

  #if COND
  if (something)
    foo();
  else
  #endif
  bar();

Because in this case, I don't trust that kind of code to survive the
test of time. Someone may come along and break it by modifying the
bar() line, and it might be a sneaky bug. It's not easy to tell.
