wprintf is not a new ISO C99 function

[Markus Kuhn]

In the current snapshot, in /usr/include/wchar.h it says

/* Wide character I/O functions.  */
#if defined __USE_ISOC99 || defined __USE_UNIX98
            ^^^^^^^^^^^^

/* Select orientation for stream.  */
extern int fwide (__FILE *__fp, int __mode) __THROW;


/* Write formatted output to STREAM.  */
extern int fwprintf (__FILE *__restrict __stream,
                     __const wchar_t *__restrict __format, ...)
     __THROW /* __attribute__ ((__format__ (__wprintf__, 2, 3))) */;
/* Write formatted output to stdout.  */
extern int wprintf (__const wchar_t *__restrict __format, ...)
     __THROW /* __attribute__ ((__format__ (__wprintf__, 1, 2))) */;

...

All these functions have been part of the C89 standard since amendment 1
(1994). They are NOT new additions to ISO C99 and should therefore be added
unconditionally by default. If someone adds #include <wchar.h> to her
source code, then she will most definitely also want to have these old
functions included.

A trivial ISO C89 program such as

#include <wchar.h>

int main() {
  wprintf(L"Schöne Grüße!\n");

  return 0;
}

should run without the necessity to prefix any #define _ISOC99_SOURCE
