But Exim uses other features of ANSI C, so it does need an ANSI C
compiler, and so I don't think you gain much by mangling the source that
way. I took a conscious decision to write it in ANSI C. Heck, ANSI C has
been defined for nearly a decade, hasn't it? Oh, perhaps not quite; I
think it was 1989 (but compilers were tracking it before then). Still,
pretty well all compilers today accept it.
