I don't think there are that many gcc-isms, apart from use of PACKED 
(please correct me if I'm wrong). You can always define that to nothing 
if you need to - I'd hope that no compiler adds padding since all 
fields should be naturally aligned. I don't see us moving to a model 
where we define macros on char arrays anytime soon. :-) But perhaps we 
could include a script to generate such macros from our structure 
definitions....
I know Kip Macy iss including our public headers into FreeBSD with 
-ansi, so we can't be that far from ISO code.
