The latest Info-ZIP code relating to the decc$feature*() stuff uses:
#if !defined( __VAX) && (__CRTL_VER >= 70301000)
in accord with the
#if __CRTL_VER >= 70301000
in <unixlib.h> on my Alpha (and its absence on my VAXes at VMS V7.3)
but that covers only the support functions, not individual features.
However, it's a pretty safe bet that before the C RTL with the support
functions, you won't be able to do much, so that sets a minimum on the C
RTL, although a modern C compiler with its "backport library" stuff
could compensate for an earlier VMS version for at least some of these
things.
Because of the need to get "DECC$ARGV_PARSE_STYLE" set early, the
Info-ZIP programs use LIB$INITIALIZE to set all of these things.
