It really does not matter what the real ANSI C standard says.  The
goal should be to find the most useful common denominator which works
across all compilers that might be conceivably be used to compile
FreeType.

It is unlikely that compilers will be fixed to work with FreeType so
FreeType must therefore be adjusted to work with all compilers which
claim to be ANSI C compliant (and produce correct code).

I have access to the ANSI C++ standard if we must have a standard to
look at.
