Portability is the issue I'm trying to address.  I don't want to end up
writing sed scripts off-site in front of some third party on a locked-down
HPUX workstation, trying to make our code compile with their C89/G89
compiler, simultaneoulsly explaining why C99 is the way of the future.
I'm interested in *any* solution that can prevent this.  The easiest is
probably to forbid C99, G89, and G99 extensions, but easy doesn't always
mean best.
