  Platform-specific compatibility functions

  This file implements functions needed to work around
  platform-specific problems and which cannot be solved by a simple
  #ifdef/#endif plus two or three lines additional code. Wherever
  possible, the implementation should be such, that the function is
  implemented on every platform, but is a dummy for those platforms
  on which it is not needed, so additional #ifdef's are unnecessary.
