You mentioned in an earlier message that there is a "full" ANSI compiler
but that it is too big for the current Minix-PC. Are you looking for
volunteers to try and pare it down?

If it is not possible to cram the full ANSI compiler into Minix-PC, I 
would like to see, in addition to what you mentioned:
	- support for prototypes
	- support for long global identifiers
