This does not work on ANSI C compilers. Declarations need to be at the

C90 required that variable decls came before code, but IIRC C99 style
mid-function declarations should work on pretty much all modern
platforms, aka anything with GCC or MSVC.
-1.
"IIRC" and "pretty much all modern" are both bad reasons for being
sloppy ;-)
IIRC ( >:-> ) the AIX compiler actually doesn't like it, but other
people know that better.
Then lets not support AIX :-)
To expand on my beliefs around this a little bit, if a platform doesn't
have things like kqueue, epool or event ports, and it still doesn't have
a c99 compiler, where is the value in supporting it, they are likely
still using Apache 1.3 anyways.
