Does anyone else have any comments on Florian's patch to get rid of the
strict-warning errors from the libio directory?  I compiled it and
verified that it worked for me but I don't really feel comfortable
approving the patch as I am not very familiar with the code in this
directory and am not sure how others feel about this particular approach
to getting rid of the errors.
