What do the gnulib users think? Can we have a poll? 1) Is it important for you that what you get from gnulib can be compiled with a C89 compiler (gcc 2.95, IRIX cc, MSVC)? 2) Is it important for you that gnulib-tool displays information about whether what you imported from gnulib can be compiled with a C89 compiler? 3) Is it important for you that you can tell gnulib-tool whether it should accept or reject to import code from gnulib that cannot be compiled with a C89 compiler?
