You are talking to a few survivors ;-).

Seriously, though: the conclusion was that we didn't like the
redefinition of NULL in C++ headers (see my other message for the
problems this causes).  But we couldn't understand why does the C++
compiler redefines NULL in its headers, so we couldn't find a solution
that would satisfy us all and avoid breaking the C++ compiler at the
same time.  Perhaps you could help.
