[$] Modernizing Fedora's C code

It is not often that you see a Fedora change proposal for a version of thedistribution that will not be available for 18 months or so, but thatis exactly what was recently posted to the mailing list. The change targets the C source code in the myriad of packages that thedistribution ships; it would fix code that uses some ancient compatibilityfeatures that were removed by the C99 standard but are still supported byGCC. As might be guessed from the long runway proposed, there is quite a bit of work to do to get there.
