      (But if your new feature only makes sense on a given platform then
      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
+     impractical to avoid them.  At least one active user is still using GCC
+     2.95, so extensions that only appear in later versions are to be avoided
+     for the time being.

      branch somewhere I can get at it.
