Actually I think in this case they would be. Most compilers do this by
default IIRC (if you'd like to see for yourself, try the attached test.)
Still, I think it would be prudent to put the 0 in there anyway, sine I
don't think there's a standard that says compilers have to do this so
there could potentially be portability problems.

#include <stdio.h>

static int test_value;  /* We don't give this a value, compiler should make it

int main ()
{
	printf ("Value of test_value: %i\n", test_value);
	return 0;
}
