And as I mentioned over in c.l.c., while their coding standards don't
explictly state that "void main" is preferred practice, much of the code
that is released under the GNU banner uses this ignorant construct.

Perhaps the campaign to educate the Stallmanites should make them aware
of the ANSI/ISO C Standard and the two conforming declarations of main.
