This isn't C++; variable declaration must be at the top of a block.

[Christian Stimming]

I was about to add exactly your comment. *Sigh* Life would be so nice if 
all available compilers would support all available language standards.

BTW does the latest gcc3 now have an option to enable a warning in this 
specific case? Like, -Wmixed-declaration (which we should then enable in 
gnucash)? gcc3.3.1 doesn't have it yet.
