I am trying to write the rules to give to a future volunteer which
may or may not be me.

Is it possible to get group consensus on the conditionals which reflect
each of the columns in the API tables for SUS V4?

http://www.unix.org/version4/GS5_APIs.pdf

I am having trouble seeing how each API standard doesn't correspond
to a single conditional or maybe a POSIX standard range. And if it
was required by K&R or C89 or XXX, then it is unconditional.
