Maybe it's time to start advocating additional standard macro names upstream ... the fact that user addition etc. is macro-fied means that I can actually build some of my Red Hat/Mandriva/Fedora packages on Solaris 9 (just by writing a new set of compat macros that use the flags in the right order for various commands).
