It probably should be low priority.  Partially, I'm just trying to sync 
CVS with GNULIB.  We decided to follow your lead and move forward to C89 
support, partially so we wouldn't have to maintain forks of GNULIB code.

I was toying with the idea of writing a script that could convert the 
pre-ANSI function declarations in CVS to ANSI declarations for neatness, 
completeness, because I think the Perl script required is going to be on 
the order of 10-20 lines, and because the pre-ANSI declarations have 
always irritated me ;).  I needed to know if I would be going too far, 
as with my include file assumptions.  If I write the script I will run 
it past GNULIB too and submit the patch.
