Done.

Rephrased.

So you agreed in an earlier message.  I've now removed all typecasts to
and from void * which are declared unnecessary by C89.

Removed, removed, removed, removed, and removed, per the above.

Are you sure?  You asked me to restore similar parens around bit-ands
back at several other locations despite other work that changed the
lines, in an earlier email.  Not that I disagree now.  I actually prefer
the version without the unnecessary parens around the  bit-and.  I just
think we should be consistent.

Done.

Thanks.  I'm not attaching a patch - I'll include a complete one
shortly, after I process your next two emails.
