      obviously its new dependencies don't need to be available elsewhere.)
 
+   * GCC is stated as a dependency.  In fact the code is mostly standard C,
+     with C99 initializers, long long and possibly the occasional // comment as
+     the main departures from C89.  Additional GCCisms will be accepted if it's

      branch somewhere I can get at it.
