My bad, then, I missed it. So let me add

1) Because the default compilation is to include all the files in a master
file, the local defines should be undef'ed at the end to avoid namespace
pollution.

2) Never do this:

 if (bug) return -1;

or this

if (bug) {blah; blah;}

do it this way

if (bug) {
    return -1;
}

The last is more for Travis in the most recent commit ;)
