Re: [PATCH] Fix git to be (more) ANSI C99 compliant.

I think applying the patch in question on top of Florian's 11172e
would be the most sensible, since that is currently the tip of ff/c99
topic branch whose early parts have been merged to "next" and
the tip to "pu".  When Linus feels as sympathetic as I do, we
can pull the rest of ff/c99 branch to "next" and then eventually
to "master" and the patch will be merged together without
introducing the nonsense casts.

Now, without asking Linus about this further, I felt sympathetic
enough to decide that void-pointer arithmetic avoidance is not
so bad (touches only 70 lines or so in 19 files); tonight's
"next" should be compilable with the default Solaris compiler.
