Summary: liblicense.0.4 - gcc -ansi
Initial Comment:
This change set increases the portability of the C code - to
compilers other than GCC - by avoiding post-1989 features of
the C language definition. Yes: 18 years later and they
STILL haven't caught up.
I haven't committed this to my repo yet, I'd like to know
what folks think.
Personally, I'd rather be coding in C++, where mixed
declarations and statements are OK. They make a lot of
sense. Problem is that most compilers except GCC are, well,
behind the times.
The no-c++ comments thing is important programmer
psychology. It provides the reader with an almost
subliminal clue that they are dealing with C, and not
anything else.

Looks good. Compiler portability is not something I've
dealt with so I'll
take your word for it. Shall I commit it?
