Hi Dimitris, 

This is an interesting question.
Concerning routines that are in pkg/mypackage, it's not necessary to
add thoses #ifdef ALLOW_MYPACKAGE. 
However, I noticed that when I have to modified 1 one those S/R and 
put the modified copy into my local "code" directory, then it generally 
breaks the compilation if I decide not to compile the package anymore.
And since it does not cost much to add those #ifdef,
it could be a good idea to have them in each S/R.
But you can see that for many packages, we quiet often
don't have those #ifdef.

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
