Yes.  No API changes.

For the API you mean?  Certainly, but this would be FreeType 3...

Probably yes.  C99 is 15 years old...  However, I favor the autoconf
style of testing features (e.g., for the presence of a `long long'
type), so a compiler doesn't necessarily need to support full C99, but
only a (rather small) subset.
