I can assure you that it's not the same if your code is in the trunk vs
if your code is on some other branch: when I edit the the C code and see
an "#ifdef VMS" I'll try to pay attention to that code, even if I can't
test that my change doesn't break it.  If it's not in the trunk, I won't
see the #ifdef and you'll have to deal with the breakage.
