I know... but to non-sticklers it reads like 'constantly long uptime...'.
I like the original because it involved the user... 'You!' Long uptime!

From the source tree:

#define _PATH_UNIX      "/netbsd"

Or invented... (and not strict C(++))

#if defined(__NetBSD__)
#define PORTS, PKGS, X, RAID, UVM, SECURE, FASTFAST, MAINFRAME, HANDHELD, PC
const u_long uptime;
#else define (GOODLUCK!)
