Glare at it sternly.

Honestly most of the work in these cases gets put on setting up the
build system around whichever #ifdef patterns are necessary get things
to build, and patching in new #ifdef commands if necessary.

Point is to create a single diff against the source (not the build
stuff) which can be inspected for changes when new versions arrive.

I thought this was clear. The answer would be yes if they'll have
them, maintain them out of tree otherwise.
