There might also be the need to work around specific MeeGo bugs or features. E.g. libfoo-1.2.3 behaves differently on MeeGo than on desktop Linux. Yes, that might be a bug in MeeGo and it might get fixed at some point, still developers often want to work around such things to get their app working. Real life example: The missing support for screen rotation through plain Qt/QML. In that case I manually need to rotate my qml items - but only on MeeGo. Rotation works fine on Symbian and Maemo5. Anyways, to make it short: Developing for Maemo 4.0, 4.1 and 5.0 for some time, I know many things depended on #ifdefs etc. I can't imaging MeeGo getting away without. It would be nice, but as long as there is a need for #ifdefs, there should be proper support for it.
