:Matt, just because C99 has changed doesn't mean we have to break C90.  This is
:the difference between your baseline that you support vs. the newest stuff you
:...

    Who says we are breaking C90?  So far nobody has posted anything from
    C90 that prevents us from changing time_t to a 64 bit int.  Garrett's
    defect list posting is on very thin ice, it would take a whole lot of
    twisting to construe it as meaning that long long can't be used to 
    define time_t.

    C90 is also over 10 years old.  If these standards are supposed to
    reflect what people are doing with C, then obviously we want to
    use the latest one.
