It was only a suggestion.  Sometimes it's good to see how a feature
will ook and feel before you carve it in stone.  Macros can usually be
written faster than C++ code, so they might be a good vehicle for
rapid prototyping.

But if you have a clear vision of what you want, feel free to
disregard that idea.

Hint: the (relative) complexity is in describing differences of how
`chdir' is implemented by other DOS/Windows compilers.
