Summary: Redefine NULL

This has been posted before but it may need to be said again.
The problem Mike Meyer mentioned, about Manx C claiming illegal
pointer-to-int comparison in

if (ptr == NULL)

can be fixed by redefining NULL.  As in:

#undef NULL
#define NULL ((void *) 0L)

The cast of "pointer to void" tells the compiler to "ignore pointer type".
You might want to go and change the include file which (mis)defined NULL
in the first place.  I misrecall which file that is, sorry.
