Hmm...I moved on trying to compile wmii-4 from 2006-08-26 and
discovered a lot more of these return constructions. Also the
Sun compiler doesn't like "nil" (I replaced them with "NULL")
and those anonymous unions/structs within other unions/structs
and some other things. I get a long list of warnings as well.

All this has not been the case with wmii-3 code. Now, well,
I don't know if you coders are just using some new features
of new C standards, however this code is quite unportable and
unusable for me :-(

Can (and how?) these be replaced by compatible old-C constructs?

Regards,
Stefan

P.S. I'm not going to use gcc here as the resulting binaries can
be several times slower...
