If I understand the structure of Snowball correctly, q/header.h is
part of the source code for the Snowball compiler - and therefore does
not need such ifdefs.

They're only needed in headers that will be used to link a
Snowball-generated stemmer into another program (ie: any files
generated by Snowball, plus the files needed to use them; and
libstemmer, which already has the ifdefs, I think).

I've never been able to remember which directory is which in Snowball,
so I could be missing the point here :)
