 [If you are concerned with d/l bandwidth, that tarball is about 20% smaller
  when bzip2'd.]

 I have only access to Tru64 4.0F, nothing newer, and compiler defaults and
 features may be different in newer versions.

 On 4.0F:

 o cc -std:  relaxed ANSI mode, __STDC__ = 0
 o cc -std0: K&R, __STDC__ undefined (default mode)
 o cc -std1: strict ANSI mode, __STDC__ = 1

 (I ___think___ -std may be default in 5.x.)

 configuring with either 'CC=cc' or 'CC="cc -std"' gives rise to warnings
 like this:

cc -std -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I..  -I../term -I../term -DBINDIR=\"/usr/local/bin\" -DX11_DRIVER_DIR=\"/usr/local/libexec/gnuplot/4.0\" -DCONTACT=\"gnu...@li...\" -DHELPFILE=\"/usr/local/share/gnuplot/4.0/gnuplot.gih\" -I/usr/local/include  -g -c `test -f 'axis.c' || echo './'`axis.c
cc: Warning: axis.c, line 188: In the definition of the function "axis_unlog_interval", the promoted type of checkrange is incompatible with the type of the corresponding parameter in a prior declaration. (promotmatchw)
    TBOOLEAN checkrange;

 cpp analysis shows that TBOOLEAN gets defined to _Bool, which in turn is
 typedef'd to unsigned char.
