Well it does relate to the *problem* space, which is to
provide for different versions of the program for different
circumstances. It does not relate the the specific *solution*
space suggested by the questioner, which was to solve this
problem with conditional compilation. In fact many people feel
that conditional compilation is the wrong way to go about
this kind of specialization. This is of course an old and
weary discussion. It is hard to believe that anything new
can come from spinning this thread once more :-)
