If a function does not take any parameters, I think it's better to
always state it explicitely in the prototype, i.e.

   extern void cninit(void);

Otherwise the compiler thinks that the paremeters are just not stated in
the prototype, and won't warn if the function is wrongly called with
parameters...

(Note that in the function *definition*, where the function is actually
implemented, () is equivalent to (void), but in the prototype it's not!)
