[Aldor-l] Build system

[Stephen Watt]

Hi Pippijn.   I'll be brief since I am just making a quick E-mail
check while in transit.

The most important non-obvious thing from my point of view for
building tools is that the C compiler defects #defines get generated
on the basis of properties (e.g. non-char-count sprintf) as opposed to
on the basis of specific platforms (e.g. GCC version xxx).    That way
the portability layer can have conditional code that is based on
function, and 99% of the files remain #ifdef free.   Having #ifdef
free code is very important.
