He also wrote that his code would be fine ANSI C ;) If he wrote "it's
intended for the windows platform, I think the C parts are quite portable"
I would be less offended.

As long as they do not claim that their code is ANSI-C. I can remember my
first (and last) patch to the KDE developers that converted their code
to real C++, and they told me "F*ck off! Get a real c++ compiler!". Ever
since I became sensitive with such claims ;)
