test build of 4.9 started

[Feng, Kate]

At http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(programming_language)
The "Hello, world example shows:
int main(void)
The footnotes 10 states  :
"The main function actually has two arguments, int argc and char *argv[], respectively, which can be used to handle command line arguments <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_line_arguments> . The C standard requires that both forms of main be supported, which is special treatment not afforded any other function."

Thus, the information I have did not mention that main function has three arguements.
However, it's true that main() can afford sepcial treament as long as it is defined consistently
throughout the code.  I am not aware that it broke any code.  It was just my concern about
being consistent.  I agree it's better to follow the C99 standard.  It seems that C99 follows 
C standard  for  the main() function.
 
Cheers,
Kate

It would be better to match C99 though if we can
get a definitive answer.
