According to comments in Lists.h, the services it relates should not be used 
after OSX 10.4. However, the file is in the system includes, and gets included 
also in Snow Leopard (10.6). -D__LISTS__ is needed to avoid the name collision 
between the typedef Cell in Lists.h and Octave's Cell class. This collision 
becomes visible only when FLTK is used. There is no harm having the __LISTS__ 
defined even when FLTK is not used. However, I would not define it on other 
systems than OSX, as this symbol might have different uses on other systems.
