Oops, thanks. Sorry for the noise. It seems the problem isn't related
to the attachment size ;)

I've posted the full set of patches here: http://jvprat.no-ip.org/tmp/freesci/

Here's an overview of the patches:

    01_allocation_casts.patch
This patch is about the first obvious case where I think the casts
can't be avoided, and it's
where allocation of dynamic memory takes place.

    02_kernel_dereference.patch
This is a bunch of typecasts around kernel_dereferences. I think all
these should be handled as a block, either by using the explicit
casting (as it's done in the patch) or by modifying the
return type of the function (I haven't watched this possibility, but
as I see most of them cast to (char*)...).

    03_flexarray.patch
Here comes a small patch to fix the FLEX_ARRAY

    04_explicit_casts.patch
This is another relatively big patch. It includes casts where there
may be a better solution (like changing types of variables), but it
needs further analysis.

    05_missing_headers.patch
This adds a few #includes and a few function declarations where they
are needed. The function declarations might be moved to include files,
but in some cases there wasn't an obvious file where to put them, so I
leave them where they are needed and you can tell me where you want
them ;)

    06_various.patch
It's a mix of very small changes.

    07_c++_keywords.patch
It renames the C++ keywords that got in the way.

    08_cfsml.patch
The old savegame stuff (for reference).

    09_extra.patch
Final touch to get everything compilable on C++ (it breaks the C compilation).


It's enough for today. I hope this split helps with the integration.
