[PATCH 0/9] use c99 initializers in structures

[Julia Lawall]

These patches add labels in the initializations of structure fields (c99
initializers).  The complete semantic patch thta makes this change is shown
below.  This rule ignores cases where the initialization is just 0 or NULL,
where some of the fields already use labels, and where there are nested
structures.
