If any 'ifdef' statements are outdated and unnescisarry, patches that
safely remove those statements will most probably be happily accepted by
thier maintainers - some of those modules may have reasons for keeping
that conditional code - some of them may have just not recieved patches
that remove the 'deadcode' yet :D
