Yeah.  The stuff in the block delimited by "HEADERIZER BEGIN" and
"HEADERIZER END" is autogenerated by "make headerizer", and headerizer
isn't smart enough (yet) to understand #ifdefs.  So if you fix it, it
will just come back the next time someone runs the headerizer.

I don't know if this has a ticket (yet), but I've mentioned it to Andy
Lester (the author of headerizer) on at least one occasion.
