It's a commercial distribution of BSD. I remember it being pretty
nice when I used it 10+ years ago, but it sounds like it's dead now.
Too bad.

Um ... so do you remember which symbol they predefined? It's pretty
lame that we can't even spell it consistently in one source file.
(Or, if BSDI is so dead that no one remembers, shouldn't we rip out
those #if branches?)
