+  Platform-specific compatibility functions
+
+  This file implements functions needed to work around
+  platform-specific problems and which cannot be solved by a simple
+  #ifdef/#endif plus two or three lines additional code. Wherever
+  possible, the implementation should be such, that the function is
+  implemented on every platform, but is a dummy for those platforms
+  on which it is not needed, so additional #ifdef's are unnecessary.
