   You meant: ... with a C compiler on ...   
      
   I.e., I'm sure people are still creating new programs in C,   
   hence not already done.   
      
   Even in regards to a C compiler, there is still plenty   
   of new developments in C.  If there wasn't, there wouldn't   
   be any need for new C standards.
