Defines should be upper case, and more than 2 letters I think.

IMHO better solution is just moving
the "ifndef M_PI, define M_PI" to a common header, after "include <math.h>".

Dear Sirs:

An unused M_PI define in src/falcon/dsp_core.c is the only M_PI in
Hatari that is not my fault.

I think we can remove that #define in dsp_core.c since it is not used anymore.

I have come to the conclusion that the entirety of computer science
has had decades to find a way of representing pi and has failed.
   Thus, the correct way of defining pi on a computer in C is as follows:
#define pi 3.14159265358979323846264338327950 /* use more digits if needed
*/
Note that pi is lower case because pi is fundamentally more important than
C convention.

Uff, I didn't expect my one-line patch to #include <SDL_stdinc.h> to cause so much discussion ;-) ... anyway, if you all are really that unhappy about SDL_stdinc.h (which always #defines M_PI), I think I'd rather prefer Eero's suggestion to always define M_PI if it is not available in math.h yet. M_PI should be available on *most* systems in math.h, so it is still some kind of default naming and we should not diverge from that in Hatari to make, I think.
