Even if C99 lets you declare the variable in the for loop (eliminating
the need for a user-declaration), it still seems cleaner to pass the
name of the variable to be declared as a macro argument.

That way the name `driver' isn't magic.  It also lets the user nest your
construct (however silly that may be...).
