The whole point of the POSIXification mini-project was to make this a moot
point. So, in theory, as long as we keep the code tree c89 clean, it should
keep building on lots of old gear as long as it's basically POSIX compliant.
And really, I can't think of anything post-c89 that we absolutely must have or
the world will end.
As for the directory paths, all we need to do right now is differentiate
between "lib" and "libexec" files in the Makefiles. Once that is done, the
auto* goo can be customized set the appropriate paths based on the OS type and
release number.
