Summary: liblicense.0.4 - gcc -ansi

Initial Comment:
This change set increases the portability of the C code - to compilers other
than GCC - by avoiding post-1989 features of the C language definition. Yes:
18 years later and they STILL haven't caught up.

I haven't committed this to my repo yet, I'd like to know what folks think.

Personally, I'd rather be coding in C++, where mixed declarations and
statements are OK. They make a lot of sense. Problem is that most compilers
except GCC are, well, behind the times.

The no-c++ comments thing is important programmer psychology. It provides
the reader with an almost subliminal clue that they are dealing with C, and
not anything else.
