No prob.

I did search, but couldn't find a good one.  The problem is that -std=c89 is too restrictive: there are several common things that are not part of c89 which msvc supports (e.g., anonymous structures, // coments, among other things.)

Anyway, I'm planning to upgrade to MSVC 2013 when building piglit, which supposedly has more c99 support.  And unlike Mesa tree, the MSVC used to build piglit is less of an issue. So this sort of issues will hopefully disappear.
