Are any of the compilers that are typically used to build gpsbabel C99
compliant?

If you read comp.lang.c, there are many smart people who believe C99
is stillborn.  Comments are made about the lack of C99 compilers in
existance five years after the standard's release as opposed to the
lack of non-compliant compilers in existance five years after the
release of C89/90.

I use many modern C90 compilers, and all of them optionally support
"//" without supporting any other C99 or C++ features.  Not that
gpsbabel could be compiled by any of those compilers...
