Hmmm.  I'm afraid that would happen.  sigh.

The reasons why I choose old style C are:

  * on my early development environment (old Sun and Sony machine), no
    ANSI compiler was available.

  * I really hate the style like following; it's ugly.

      function(VALUE arg1, VALUE arg2,
               struct tm *timeout,
               int n) {
        ...
      }

At present, I guess all compilers can understand ANSI style, so that
the former is no longer important.  But...
