there's nothing (much) wrong with it: nested functions are a gcc extension.
(i remember having troubles with those functions on other
compilers...but it's been years :-))

"portable" means different things to different people.

for you it seems to refer to usability on multiple operating-systems and
compilers.
it could also have referred to the file-size (pdp_imageproc_portable.c
easily fits on a floppy).
knowing tom a bit, it's most likely that this is about portability
between multiple architectures all running linux (and looking at the
other files nearby this is very much the case - as the "portable" code
is opposed to code explictely using i586 instructions)
