That's true, I hate them :D
I could imagine something like

#ifndef HAVE_SONIC
my_favorite_spd_implementation_for_sonic() { do nothing;}
#endif

as the last escape for #ifdef supporters :D

however you do not need even that if you let configure discover what
implementation you should build
SOX, SONIC or DUMMY
and then build it in conditionally in Makefile.am

I agree, but this is not the case.
That brings me back to the main topic of this post:
where are the official sonic sources? :D
