Well if it has to be done than it has to be done. I started the whole
-Wshadow revolution, I hope I'll be the one finishing it. Besides
there's also a chance of guilt-tripping you into accepting -Wshadow by
default :-D

The ones that related to collisions with definitions in platform
provided *.h, in other words all non MISC commits, they are grouped
and tagged and will have it(tag) in a message subject, there are 90 of
those plus there are 34 previously sent patches so I think we have
enough to deal with, for now. For all MISC commits, I'll probably add a
short description in commit message later.

There are still 195 of them, so oftentimes, I just don't remeber. I have
all the data on which type TYP1..TYP4, BWDH, ALBW, they belong, but the
exact reason of a clash for MISC commits, no, I don't. I guess I'll
remember for some and the others I'll revert and hope gcc will give me
clear enough message.
