Mmh, ok.

I think you should ignore them for now -- we have not yet managed to trick
the authors of these (which are used to C++) to sleep with C90 under their
pillow ;)

Thank you for the patch, I checked in a slightly different change which keeps
the constant initializer and just updates the non-constant fields in the
code.

        * posix-io.c (_gpgme_io_select): Don't use a non-constant struct
	initializer.
        * version.c (_gpgme_get_program_version): Likewise.
        Reported by Dr. Stefan Dalibor <Dr.Stefan.Dalibor at bfa.de>.

Thanks,
Marcus
