Yes, You can write portable code without #ifdef, configure scripts, and
libtool. Plan 9 shows how.
Some people get upset at mentions of Plan 9, however, so for a more current
example, the Go source tree is a good reference. There's no cpp in Go,
thank goodness, and they've shown superior portability to systems that
revolve around #ifdef.
