That's a tough call. I do worry about readability. We have made Win32
changes, and they aren't ifdefs, and we still have a running system, and
I think we can do that for PITR too. I think the big issue, which may be
your point, is to get incremental work into CVS as soon as possible so
we continue to take small steps.
