Hmm, MSVC6 came out in about 1999 I think.  I just did these tests in
misc.c before the line with the error:

#if USE_VARIADIC
#pragma message("USE_VARIADIC")
#endif

#if __STDC__
#pragma message("__STDC__")
#endif

#if !__STDC__
#pragma message("!__STDC__")
#endif

#ifdef __STDC__
#pragma message("defined __STDC__")
#endif

#if HAVE_STDARG_H
#pragma message("HAVE_STDARG_H")
#endif



I got this output:

USE_VARIADIC
!__STDC__
HAVE_STDARG_H

So it seems __STDC__ is defined as 0 (I did not have this test in my
first check).  I thought the #ifdef __STDC__ would have identified that
though.

Unless there is another way to turn on ISO C standards compliance.  I
don't know of how to do this.
