Why not always use config.h, and just provide(*) a default config.h for builds
that can't use autotools?  That way we could get rid of most cruft in os.h,
as well :)

<p>(*) either by copying a build-specific config_bla.h to config.h, by having
a build-specific include directory earlier in the search path, or by having
a default config.h (that gets overwritten by configure) that contains
stuff like

#ifdef SOME_SYMBOL_USED_TO_IDENTIFY_A_CERTAIN_COMPILER
#include "some_path/some_config.h"
#endif
