Nice - and it cuts down on a lot of #ifdefs in the code base, as an
added bonus.

How annoying, but this macro looks like the right way to solve it, and
the bulk of the patch to this file is mechanical.  Also, your (three!)
wrappers in vbox_tmpl.c look sane, and everything after the hunk for
line 1044 of the original file looks pretty mechanical.  I assume you
compiled for both Windows and Linux for both 2.2 and 3.0+ versions.

Wow - how long has that been under-parenthesized (I guess since STREQ
parenthesizes its results, it still compiled)?

OK, so that hunk wasn't mechanical, like most of them.  But overall, it
looks good.

ACK.
