I'll steer clear of the larger point... :)  but will just say: when adding workarounds for problematic compilers / OSes, it would be very appreciated to be clear about which versions.  As someone who has gone through VTK to expunge obsolete workarounds, it's sometimes been hard to know what's obsolete and what's not.  A lot of workaround notes say things like "on Apple this is broken", but which OS version is not stated...

Try to think of the future in commit messages and code comments.  :)

Cheers,
