OK, call it ANSI if you want, but it is certainly not portable. When I first glanced at the code, I thought it was pretty much ANSI C, and therefor easily recompiled for a Windows machine. However, the code relied too much on glib.h, which is not a standard C library, and made it simply too much effort to port, IMHO. A simple filter like that *could* have been written in portable ANSI C using standard C libraries, and then compiled and run anywhere.
