Hello everybody,

I found that db_access.c is using the C++ keyword "new" as a variable

name. While this is of course valid code, it confuses IDEs, syntax

highlighting editors and such, so I would probably consider it bad practice.

Has anybody considered fixing this issue? Else I would create a branch

for it and get it done. While I'm at it - any other C++ keywords I

should rename? Should I enforce straight C comments instead of C++ style

"//" comments, too? Or are all compilers accepting these nowadays?

Cheers,
Ralph
