Steve, STFU with the typical bullshit. You can use absolutely any
C99-compliant compiler, as well as most C89 compilers with the key
useful extensions which were standardized in C99 such as named struct
initializers. If you find code in ffmpeg that cannot be compiled with
any C99 compiler, report it as a bug and it will surely be fixed. On
the other hand if your compiler is broken then complain to the
compiler vendor, not this list!!
