Well you are definately right about __POSIX__, and I assume you are
rightabout __LINUX__ (I've seen it often enough in other people code).

BTW:  You should do something like this:

in  PenguinPlay.h,

#ifdef __POSIX__
    #define _PP_POSIX
    (and maybe even #define _PP_READDIR readdir)
#endif

etc.

It is kind of pointless, but I think it is The Right Thing To Do.  I have
occasionally
been glad of doing paranoid things like than, and occasionally cursed my
self
because I hadn't.
