btw i'm making efforts to "fix" warnings that i get with using "scons wall=1", which turns on "-Wall" in gcc.
This is so that new warnings are more easily noticed, and because unused variables make the code more difficult to understand.
well, i once started to work on this, but stopped, after realizing that it makes merging the code _much_ more difficult ...
please think about this, before checking it the core ...
cheers ... tim
