 your example code is mistaken, starting with the comment:
 
 > #if __NetBSD_Prereq__(4,0,0)	/* require NB 4.0 or lower */
 
 No, this actually requires NB 4.0 *or higher*.
 
 > 	/* whatever code */
 > #endif

 The code inside such #ifdef block is compiled in on NetBSD 4.0_RC4 and
 will be on NetBSD 4.0 release. I don't know what your "watch it fail"
 refers to. (Have you actually tried it?)
 
 Unless there is another example to show some actual problem, I am going to
 close this PR.
