Hmm, I sent Wesley the same fixes!  :-)


FWIW, the problem was that in Standard C++ you could no longer do:

for (int i = 0; ...; i++)
{
    /* do something with i */
}

/* do some more with i */

because i was no longer visible outside the for(){..} block.

Although, because i isn't declared inside the curly braces then you might
think that it should be visible to the code below the the for(){..} block. 
This is probably something the C++ committee agonised over for months.  :-)
