Thanks from one of those who will be caused minor headaches (probably
several day's work if you do this and one wants to use a recent compiler)
for working with very old (unmaintained but essential) code (consisting of
thousands of line of now incorrect C++), but all are easily fixed (with
hours of work that will need to be done by every single individual using
the unmaintained code).
