Do we officially support any C compilers that don't permit "intermingled variable declarations and code"? Do we unofficially support any? And if we do, what do we gain?
This might be of interest:

Specifically, apparently MSVC 2010 supports variable declarations in the middle of a block in C.
Also, since full C99 support won't be coming to MSVC, perhaps Python should move to compiling in C++ mode?
Cheers,
