I agree. I was just under the impression that u hate macros in general 
(like I do). ;)  That's why I put this reminder... ;)
But  I agree that in situations like this having a macro defining a 
specific API presence is a good practice.

I vote for a beginning of the file. If we have more like these having 
them spread across the file would make it hard to track Especially when 
one macro is responsible for more than one API line.
