Removed unnecessary #ifdef guards around an inclusion - the included file has them anyway.

/**
*  Utility class for removing unwanted pointer events, for instance

*  Usage pattern, where iSuppressor is a CPenPointerEventSuppressor*:
*
*  void CMyControl::HandlePointerEventL(const TPointerEvent& aPointerEvent)
*  	{
*  	if (iSuppressor->SuppressPointerEvent(aPointerEvent))
*  		return;
*

*  			break;
*  		case TPointerEvent::EButton1Up:
*  			if (iTap)

*  			break;
*  		case TPointerEvent::EDrag:
*  			iTap = EFalse;
*  			HandleDragL(aPointerEvent);
