Because some people decided a while back that, since the C standard
technically prohibits ANY predefined variables that don't begin with
an underscore (_), that "unix" could not be predefined. Its a fairly
meaningless #ifdef, anyway, if you think about it. Anyway, this is
arguably stupid or arguably smart, depending on tastes, but it has
been done anyway.

The -Dunix is the easiest workaround. Better is getting the people who 
wrote the code to put in more meaningful ifdefs.
