I presented several ways to avoid using complex version statements.

I might add that over time, I'd been removing #if's and #ifdef's from the dmd 
front end source code. The results were very satisfactory - the code was easier 
to read, understand and maintain. It also made running magicport on the code 
practical.

I've been slowly doing the same to the back end.
