what about the case where feature A is incompatible with configuration B
(example: this feature is usually part of the config but doesn't work
under win32)
but then again I'd do this instead
version(WIN32)
{
pragma(msg,">"__FILE__":" ~ itoa!(__LINE__) ~
"Sorry this doesn't work with win32");
}
else
{
// win32 incompatible code
}
