Ok, so we should be able to basically convert '--std=gnu89' into
'--std=gnu11 -Wno-shift-negative-value' with no expected change of
behavior.

Of course, maybe we need to make -Wno-shift-negative-value be
conditional on the compiler supporting it in the first place?

I really would love to finally move forward on this, considering that
it's been brewing for many many years.

I think the loop iterators are the biggest user-visible thing, but
there might be others.

And some googling seems to show that the reason for
-Wshift-negative-value is that with C99 the semantics changed for
targets that weren't two's complement. We *really* don't care.

Of course, the C standard being the bunch of incompetents they are,
they in the process apparently made left-shifts undefined (rather than
implementation-defined). Christ, they keep on making the same mistakes
over and over. What was the definition of insanity again?
