I don't get what you want to say by that. I was referring to, more 
precisely: are the C parts of nmap "clean enough" so that old compilers 
can do the work? Since you mentioned C99 //, I thought of C99 
initializers that might happen to be around somewhere. (If I had to 
judge: go with C99, and forget old compilers.)
