[Bug-gcal] [bug-gcal] minor portability issue in gcal-3.6.2

I've just completed 107 build attempts for gcal-3.6.2 in various
compilation environments in our test lab with about 25 flavors of
Unix.  On each system, at least one, and usually several, builds
succeeded, so the latest gcal is now installed on all of our systems
:^).

There was, however, one compilation issue with c89 compilers:

  CC     hd-data2.o
"hd-data2.c", line 781: syntax error before or at: /

The offender is this block:

//according to §7 Arbeitsruhegesetz
// (BGBl. Nr. 144/1983 zuletzt geändert durch BGBl. I Nr. 159/2004)
//All Souls day is no holiday in Austria
//   holiday (*init_data, detected, _(hd_text[HD_ALL_SOULS_DAY].ht_text),
//           ptr_cc_id, DIS_HLS_PREF2, 2, 11, year, hd_elems, fday, count);

On one system, I recompiled that single file with c99, and restarted
the build with the original c89 compiler; that finished correctly.

I suggest that the C99'ism in ./src/hd-data2.c be eliminated to keep
gcal maximally portable.
