Right, the approaches would rather be:

1) use alloca() on the systems that have it

and

2) use the 256 fixed maximum on those without alloca()

Is there C99 systems without alloca() (windows?) ? If so it would probably
make sense with option...

3) use the current approach for C99 compilers without alloca() ...

Or is it over-complicated with little gain?
