IMHO you should use (unlike Linux) the C99-Syntax for it, it has been
supported by gcc for ages (since about 2.7 IIRC) and _is_ standard
unlike gcc's extension of the day (TM).

It would look like the following then:

static struct wsscreen_descr wssd_stdscreen = {
	.name =		"LCD",
	.ncols =	80,
	.nrows =	30,
	capabilities:	0, /* can't do anything ;-) */
};

The trailing comma is optional but makes the diffs to add additional fields
smaller...
