Oh, I did full well consider BSD land.  They are generally up on the
latest standards, and I would even say that most proprietary Unix
systems are also far enough along from what I know of them.  I do try
specifically to support BSD systems and consider their needs to the best
of my abilities.

As for NonStop, I checked, and it already forces C99 mode because we use
enough features, like inline, that C89 doesn't support and so it needs
to do that already.

I do appreciate you looking out for them, though.
