  Uh, well, I guess it would be possible. But I have some concerns:

  1. ppport.h is already too big. :-)

  2. There is code in ppport.h to actually remove an

       #include "ppport.h"

     if it appears not to be needed. If it's not needed in your
     included file, it might be dropped from there and moved to
     the other file that included the first one. This would make
     the logic much more complicated.

  3. As ppport.h is configurable, it's not (always) a good idea
     to put it into a file that's included from another file.

  I guess I'll have to think about this a little more. Maybe I can
  come up with a fancy solution that doesn't increase the code size
  too much.

  I don't think so. Because :
  1. your redefinition of SVt_PBVM is probably what most XS modules want
  2. anyway, if we remove it from the core, it might appear in Devel::PPPort :)
