Is this strictly necessary? I was glancing through the ANSI standard the
other day (as one does) and it said that if main() reaches the end of the
function without encountering a return statement, it should assume a
return value of 0. Now gcc complains about this; is this non-compliance? 

I still think it's a good idea to put a return in anyway, for the same
reason I prototype all my functions and assign them return types.
