Support for future safer C standard?

[Marc-André Laverdière]

Dear Maintainers,

I was doing some reading and I found that that ISO is working on a new C 
standard. They have some safer functions to work against buffer 
overflows. And they should be standard at some point in the future (I 
guess its a matter of months... but I don't know ISO's speed very much)

You can read the details here:

I read that Microsoft has that in VC++ 2005, and I did not see anything 
about that regarding in the PROJECTS file... is there something in the 
works on your side?
