No FLINT only requires C99, so 3.4.3 is fine I believe. I think FLINT 2 will drop the C99 requirement as it is a damned pain in the neck, as MSVC is no C99 compliant. Probably by the time I get FLINT 2 release they'll release MSVC 2010 and spring C99 compliance on us, only 11 years after the standard was ratified.
