Hmmm.  I guess C99 mostly works - with the exception of array
initializers:

[thayne at tubarao tmp]$ cat foo.c
                                                                           =
    =20
struct foo {
  int bar;
  int baz;
};
                                                                           =
    =20
struct foo fufu[] =3D {
  [0].bar =3D 0,
  [0].baz =3D 0
};
                                                                           =
    =20
[thayne at tubarao tmp]$ gcc -c foo.c
foo.c:8: unknown field `bar' specified in initializer

It's the array initialization that I want to use.  Grrrr!
