emerge log

Hi,
I got few warnings when installing pcmciautils with notice to file you a bug report. 
 * QA Notice: Package has poor programming practices which may compile
 *            fine but exhibit random runtime failures.

The first one (type punned pointers) annoyed me also once, now you made me fix
it :) I also fixed the third one (always true), although I think this warning
is a bit aggressive. Additional error-checking is not necessarily a "bad
programming practice", I'd say. I leave the second one (implicit declaration)
to those more familiar with lexers.

Patch series with a few more cleanups will come shortly.

Thanks,

   Wolfram

Should be fixed since pcmciautils-018.
