   In my .Xdefaults file, I want to make use of the "VENDOR" preprocessor symbol:

    something like this:

   #if VENDOR == 'MIT X Consortium'
   #elif VENDOR == 'Network Computing Devices Inc.'

#if is used for numerical comparison only.  I don't think you can use
the VENDOR symbol--or any other symbol with a text value--for anything
other than substitution and #ifdef/defined() tests.
