I've used structure initialization in a MIDI API header, not yet in the
tree but visible in
http://www.anastigmatix.net/cvsweb.cgi/NetBSD/midiapi.pat?rev=1.1

It turns out the C99 features I wanted (struct initialization and variadic
macros) were already in gcc 2.95.3, with only a slight variation on C99
syntax, so with just a small bit of conditional definition in the .h file
should make it usable on every port including vax; therefore I don't see
much reason to hesitate to use those features.
