Yup. Hit this twice. Each time I took moved the variable declaration out of
the for initalization.

Really, the problems I encountered with the KHTML source have been minor. I'm
sure we are going to want to discuss how to resolve the differences between
the two compilers, but VC++ isn't being *too* much of a baby. It doesn't look
like we are going to have to have excessive #ifdef nonsense.

I expect far more pitfalls trying to get VC++ to compile Objective C.
