Please excuse my delay here. It is committed into cvs (both branches)
now. Thanks for your submission!

Actually, I'd like to keep things as ANSI compliant as possible. What
makes you think we're moving toward GNU C extensions? The libraries
we are adding should all be portable ANSI C, or close at least.

Agreed! Please report any specific non-ansi items you discover, and
we'll see if fixing it doesn't break anything else. Of course, right
now, the code is quite far model C in form. There are very few
prototypes, assigments without casts everywhere, etc. But as far as I
can tell, all this is just as bad on gcc as any other compiler.
Take care,
