It helps those who have trouble finding it.

In this case, there are probably more like 96 ways.

Windows makes it less viable to use Windows...

Due to the traditionally naff command shell on Windows (I do like the so 
called power shell), most people, me included, use an IDE on Windows. 
With a IDE, you only have to set up your preferred options once.  You 
can do the same in a Unix (like) environment if you struggle with basic 
shell usage (of finding the up arrow key).

Which is the basic philosophy of the native compiler (cc) on my 
preferred platform:  if you want C89, use "-std=C89", if you want C99, 
use "-std=C99" and if you want C11, use "-std=C11".  All of these 
attempt to be as close to conforming as they can.  Plain cc implies the 
current standard.  If you want checking outside of the standards, use lint.
