Re: `define __SIMULATOR__

I believe the Tiburon folks have already given this a nod,
and they're concerned about multi-simulator support.

Clearly, a multi-simulator compiler must convert such an
`ifdef into some sort of run-time if statement. I believe
this is possible. However, using a run-time if statement
simply won't work if the statements inside the if are
not parsable by other simulators.
