From "defs.h", (C) 1986 Rick Adams, comes this amusing section of a
configuration file:
#define INTERNET		/* Internet mail works locally		*/
#define MYDOMAIN ".uucp"	/* Local domain				*/
/* #define CHEAP		/* don't chown files to news		*/
/* #define OLD			/* Add extra headers for old neighbors	*/
/* #define UNAME			/* If uname call returns your nodename  */
/* #define GHNAME		/* If gethostname call is available.	*/
