Some Mac header #defines macros like check and equivalent -- gack!!

Given that third-party libraries (such as Boost) can and do use those names,
properly namespace-scoped, it's unpardonable to break any such innocent usage
with a macro. Given the pervasiveness of the need, introduce a header file
with the requisite #undef directives.

+ * @brief  The Mac system headers seem to #define macros with obnoxiously
+ *         generic names, preventing any library from using those names. We've
+ *         had to fix these in so many places that it's worth making a header
+ *         file to handle it.
