Just realized why I started complaining about this...
I have to define those macros in my Makefiles to enable the namespaces 
for code that is using the libraries.
So I still think the namespaces (good thing (TM)) should be enabled 
without having to define any preprocessor macros. And users that cannot 
cope with namespaces should have to define a macro to turn them off...
