On approximately line 600 of abi/src/wv/text.c is the following chunk of
code:

  case 0x9f ... 0xff:
   printf("%c", char16);
   return(1);

   First of all, I will openly admit that I'm not a C++ guy.  I like
classes.  That's about as far as I go into the deep dark world of C++.  And
I have to imagine that this is valid C++, or AbiWord wouldn't build on other
platforms.
   However, I'm as certain as I am that I'm breathing that this is invalid
C, and that that's why it won't compile on Win32 (the VC++ compiler gets
picky due to the file extension).  So my question is, what's the best fix
for this?  Thus far all I've come up with is putting

 if( (char16 >= 0x9f) && (char16 <= 0xff) )
 {
  printf("%c", char16);
  return(1);
 }

at the top of the function and commenting out the offending block.  Is there
a more elegant solution that I'm missing?  Is this in some strange world
valid C?  Am I missing something really obvious?
