The target audience for Xfce 4.16

[Romain Bouvier]

Hello Olaf,


Thank you for your MRs.

If recent  gcc versions (>5) uses c11 by default, why "revert" to c99 ?

Also, it seems that the behavior of AC_PROG_CC changed with the new autoconf 2.70:
https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.69/html_node/C-Compiler.html vs 
https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.70/html_node/C-Compiler.html

AC_PROG_CC_C99 is not even present in autoconf 2.70 documentation, and is deprecated: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autotools-announce/2020-12/msg00001.html: "*** AC_PROG_CC_STDC, AC_PROG_CC_C89, AC_PROG_CC_C99 are now obsolete.". So we should not start using it in our code.

Note: I just tried to run xdt-autogen with the new autoconf 2.70, omg, so much deprecation warnings everywhere :(
