Comment (by rlaager):

 I don't think sticking to c89 is for aesthetic reasons... I think
 switching to c99's named initializers would be.

 I did a *QUICK* read-through of this patch... The biggest concern I have
 right now is with the GnuTLS changes. I don't see why that was done. If a
 system has no entropy gathering device, why not just disable SSL support
 at compile-time? Either way, libgcrypt should be fixed to avoid calling
 exit() and instead return failure for the application to handle.
