code should not use c99 features

Well, I think the subject for this bug is a bit off, using c99 features isn't really something to be considered a bug.. ;p
I don't plan on "fixing" this for the python 2.X version (hey, it explicitly compiles with gnu99 or a reason;),
but I'm already planning on dealing with this in the py3k branch to prepare it for inclusion with python.

If you really want this for the python 2.x version, I'd be happy to accept patches though, I'm planning on doing a
0.6.0 release with the same features I'm currently working on in the py3k branch sometime soon anwyays.. :)

liblzma is also written in C99, so you need to backport that too.

liblzma is written in a bit of both gnu89 & gnu99, so this might be
needed (ie it doesn't use stdbool.h, declaration within looops (ie.
'(int i =0; i++; i <10), etc. for being able to built without c99.

It does at least build fine using gnu89 with gcc, and I think it would
be pretty similar situation for msvc. Also if you look at the headers,
there's various gcc macros and defines to determine c standard version
used, and for non-c99, various variables, macros etc. are declared for
achieving compatibility..

As I made py3k version c89 compatible, I've just as well backported it to trunk branch as well. :)
