1) The point DHR makes about Slackware having non-compliant header files is
still valid:

http://lists.freeswan.org/pipermail/design/2003-January/004208.html

However, do we want to ship 2.00 with -Wpointer-arith disabled? Although 
enabling this during development is good for ensuring we have no issues with 
code, it may cause our users more grief. 

Is there another option short of disabling this flag? A good way of catching 
these errors and recommending this workaround?

2) Slackware uses a BSD style startup script, instead of the assumed System V 
default. Can we improve our handling of this situation?
