Right.  We no longer need to be constrained by C90.  MSVC 2013 has 
fairly decent C99 support.

There are minor inconsistencies.  For example, it doesn't support 
__func__,  but doing

   #define __func__ __FUNCTION__

suffices to make __func__ work compatible.


Also MSVC C++ doesn't support many C99 that are not part of C++.  Where 
as GNU C++ munches all.

You could make a fork on github and then register with AppVeyor.

See the comments on the top of mesa/appveyor.yml
