Same opinion for me. And once i had to tweak that fancy boot code,
the non-declarations bothered me too much, so i've added them without
those funny _P()'s.
The _P()'s cannot go from the standard header files, however. They
are required there for old programs that need to be compiled with
-traditional (since the `porter' is too lazy to resolve the conflicts
like ``mktemp("foooXXX")'').
