Obviously, all references to C9X - whether in proj-cpplib.html,
projects.html, readings.html, gcc-2.95/c++features.html or
gcc-2.95/features.html (but I don't know about news/alias.html) should be
updated to refer to C99 now that it is an actual standard with a known
year.

Probably also the documentation in the source distribution and (not so
important) all other references in source and comments except for the
ChangeLogs and the old -std options accepted for compatibility.  The
documentation files are MAINTAINERS, gcc/contrib.texi, gcc/cpp.1 (which
needs the -std list updated), gcc/cpp.texi (likewise), gcc/extend.texi,
gcc/invoke.texi (and obviously references to it as a draft can be fixed at
the same time).  Since anyone fixing this can do the grep and replacements
I'm not including the full list of references to C9X here.  (A few
references to C9X may be more problematic, e.g. where libstdc++-v3 refers
to __USE_ISOC9X and _ISOC9X_SOURCE which interact with glibc in an area
that changes between glibc 2.1 and 2.2.)  Ideally references to sections
in the original ANSI standard, the old ISO standard, and drafts, could be
updated to refer to the current standard where applicable, but it isn't
particularly feasible to find them.
