libixp: -DIXPlint wtf

[sqweek]

How come if I write a file server and go to link it against libixp I
need to compile my code with -DIXPlint before my code works?
I mean, I understand the technical reason which is it messes with the
STRUCT/UNION macros and therefore alters the size/structure of the
IxpFcall struct.
My question is what the FUCK gave anyone the impression that adding
arbitrary link time obstacles is a good thing?

configure: checking if libixp was compiled with -DIXPlint... yes
