The -std=c99 option is a big positive for me. I like it. There are C compilers and there are C++ compilers. In the C compiler realm, it is difficult to surpass GNU GCC and mingw and cygwin hosted forms. So I have lost all enthusiasm for trying to support another C compiler, because it means dumbing down the code. In the realm of C++ compilers, there is probably less reason to take this stance, since C++ compilers are all pretty capable, and you would not have to dumb down the code. So this command line option is a very good idea in my opinion. We are already programming on our hands and knees by choosing to use C. At least this gives us knee pads. Someday maybe we'll actually get up and program on our feet. Zach you have sold me.
