I just had a quick look.  To this, both functions will need 4 arguments, 2
extraneous on Cray, 1 on AIX.  What if the next platform that has this
functionality needs another argument?  Plus there's an extra #ifdef in the
mainline.

Are you sure that's cleaner?

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
