This patch fixes the following problems:

  * Should compile with an ANSI compiler without any warnings
    concerning `promotion' and mismatched arguments. Thanks to  
    Martin Richartz <martin@tk.telematik.informatik.uni-karlsruhe.de> 
    for pointing us in the right direction.

  * Compiles correctly on SCO 3.2v4.2/ODT - thanks to Daryl Sayers 
    <daryl@stone.oz.au> for telling us what went wrong and what had 
    to be corrected.

  * Configure and compiles (almost) on SGI machines. Thanks to 
    Joe Rehder <joe@vab02.larc.nasa.gov> for taking the time to 
    help us correcting the problems with the Makefiles and 
    header files.

  * compiles correctly on MIPS/OSF (64-bits machine), thanks to
    David Morley <morley@aaii.oz.au> for reporting the problems. 
    These were caused by an incorrect test in the configure script.

  * Converted a few "%d" into "%ld" to avoid problemes on 64-bits
    machine, also fixed a few cast to use long to/from (void *)
    instead of int to/from (void *)

  * Corrected the Makefile(s) to stop upon error in instead of 
    just to continue ..

  * Added comments to README and LINCKS.FAQ concerning linking
    of xlincks under LINUX.

  * Fixed a few uninitialized variables in a few corners of the
    code (lincks/libparser/dbs/cutoff/libxl).
