Cube Compilation Fixes

I am absolutely amazed by the code in cube really, and the fact that Aardappel had the guts to write it using the -ansi -pedantic compilation options :)

Due to LordHavoc's kind comments about Aardappel I have quite a bit of respect for Aardappel's work.

However, upon compilation with gcc3.2 (which recognizes / implements far more of the ISO C/C++ standards then gcc2.x) I noticed lots of warnings that marred an otherwise faultless compilation. Most people do not yet have gcc3.x based systems. I expect this to change in the future though as gcc3.2 finally delivers a true ISO C/C++ environment.

To whomever would like this albeit trivial patch. That is useful to those like me who enjoy being pedantic, you can get it here:

Er...just one other note. If anyone knows of a better way to "fix" some of these warnings. By all means please post what I've done wrong or could have done better :)

I developed using visual studio .net, which gives me no warnings on highest warning level... which I guess gives the same degree of warnings as -ansi -pedantic in gcc 2.x (which eihrul set).

I looked at the diffs but a lot are a bit dumb.. those () around assignments I assume are some warning about confusing assignment and equality, that is going to give a LOT of warnings on existing code.

I admit it seems dumb. I never said it didn't. I just said it got rid of the compilation warnings :)
