This won't work cause if MEMDEBUG is not defined, the uses clause
begins with a ','.
Normally you could do everything with IFDEF as you know from C without
restriction(I work on SW using this since Pascal V?).
AFAIK the parser reduces everything not defined and put in everything
defined - irrelevant if the result is correct or not. And irrelevant if
.dpk, .dpr or .pas.
