Re: [Bug-wget] [PATCH] Regression since wget 1.10: no_prefix function is *bad*

[Bykov Aleksey]

Greetings, Tim Rühsen

About C99 - sorry, i think "If article isn't changed/removed then it's
still actually". Yes, in MinGW mailing lists i find mention about
"-std=c99" and "changes to mingw_snprintf". Sorry for mistake.
May be it's time for new test branch - "wget-C99"? And then find what
fragments (isn't work)/(cannot be hooked) in MinGW/CygWin/MSVC and need to
replace? Something like "From practice to theory".
