Lattice/UNIX incompatibility

Every version of the Lattice compiler I have seen has four
non-standard things:
1. Comments nest.
2. If you try to pass a structure to a function
it quietly passes a pointer to the structure.
3. Every declaration of an external variable but
one must say 'extern'.
4. Case is ignored in external variables.
This makes it quite a nuisance to port Unix applications.
