Sure, that's no problem and I'm not suggesting we change that.
The question is: does Visual Studio in C mode handle STDC-style
varargs declarations?
If I sent you a windows-line-terminated tarball of the sources with
patch, would you be willing to test-run it?
Or alternatively, could I borrow a vmware image of a windows system
with the dev-stack to test it out?
Thanks!
