Do you think pkgsrc should continue to use "c99" to mean "gnu99", or
should we have c99 mean what it says, and have packages that need gnu99
declare that?  I guess that's two questions, in an ideal world, and then
when considering the pain of getting form here to there.

I realize this is complicated by c99/gnu99 not ensuring that the
compiler is capable, and by many upstream configures adding --std=foo
themselves.
