I couldn't easily make gcc warn about this, so until we can find a
warning parameter (and enable it, at least for developers) we might as
well postpone this.  I'm not sure if changing this makes for any
significant change, I suspect there are many other places we use K&R
prototypes too.

Still, it would be nice to fix this eventually, so the code is a bit
more modern.
