On the C99 issue.  I fully support the use of variable arrays.  I think
it is entirely reasonable to use this language feature.  We actually
shipped a Samba 3.x release with this (hidden in the RPC GSSAPI
handler), but removed it later when we found a better way to handle it.

I think anything that makes it easier and more correct to code Samba
should be encouraged, and variable length arrays seem to fit the bill
here.
