[oi-dev] feature.h and __XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED

Ok, while building ncurses I encountered the following problem.

It seems that a lot of projects define __XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED macros.
When it is tested in feature_tests.h the value of __XOPEN_SOURCE is 
ignored, and we have problems - _XPG5 is not defined for gcc 3.4 and 
_XPG5 and _XPG6 are not defined for gcc4.7.
So, we miss some declarations in wchar.h/wchar_iso.h
for example because of  the following macro
#if (!defined(_XPG4) && !defined(_XPG4_2) || defined(_XPG5))

and possibly receive the following error with gcc 4.7 from feature_test.h:

if defined(_STDC_C99) && (defined(__XOPEN_OR_POSIX) && !defined(_XPG6))
#error "Compiler or options invalid for pre-UNIX 03 X/Open applications \
         and pre-2001 POSIX applications"

It seems the following patch solves the problem.
Is it a correct solution or I just don't see potential problems?
Or, alternavely we could add && (_XOPEN_SOURCE - 0 < 500) condition to

#elif (defined(_XOPEN_SOURCE) && _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED - 0 == 1)

This condition is used in the first #if branch.
