Well, tbh my intention was to keep this kind of stuff out; I'd prefer
if the converter only did that: convert c99 code to c89 code, or more
specifically, convert designated initializers and compound literals to
c89-compatible forms of the same code. I believe this adds to
simplicity and maintainability of the whole thing.

If there's really no other way, we can consider putting this in also,
but I'd really prefer if the script didn't become a "oh it's
msvc-related, let's throw it in there" bottomless pit of crap.
