Hello.

I've just committed some of the patches. I think we decided a while ago that
there should be a gap of a week between a patch being approved and the patch
being committed.

Here's what I've just committed:

* fixes for libemu/src;
* fixes for debug/fsdb;
* fixes for ansi/stdio/*printf.c;
* disable warnings when compiling fcntl.c & ioctl.c.

That leaves patches in the following category:

* _doscan*() fixes;
* FSEXT handling;
* confstr.c fix.

_doscan*() needs more testing. The FSEXT patch needs reworking, to use a
library-private header for the common functions, as suggested by Eli. I need
to rework the confstr.c patch, having realised why we use snprintf().

I'm on vacation for the next week or so, so hopefully I can test all this
stuff out sometime in the middle of relaxing and having
non-computer-programming-related fun. 8)

Bye, Rich =]
