These changes facilitate more robust parameter type checking and helps
to identify unexpected coding errors.
Most simulators can now also be compiled with a C++ compiler without
warnings.
Additionally, these changes have also been configured to facilitate easier
backporting of simulator and device simulation modules to run under the
simh v3.9+ SCP framework.

This version of slirp is a fork from QEMU Version 2.4.0.1 slirp implementation
Taken from commit 83c92b45140be773f0c5545dddea35a89db1ad03
in the qemu repository git://git.qemu.orgu/qemu.git
The goal being to absolutely mininize changes from the base qemu provided code
so that the more active changes being done by the qemu folks can easily be
adopted in the future by directly replacing the revised modules. This is
achieved by careful manipulation of the include files provided in the
../slirp_glue directory so that things are stubbed out locally and the minimal
capabilities needed for sim_ether integration are provided.
Thanks to Fabrice Bellard.
