Patch with some interesting fixes from Suse

I've spend some hours taking a look and I've come to the same conclusion
as the Debian maintainer, this is very hard to fix for 64 bit. More then
that fixing probably will also include fixing / changing all xview using
clients!

Luckily all 64 bit platforms we support also have a 32 bit compatibility
option, so I think we should just not build xview (and apps using it)
for x86_64 / ppc64. It would be a good idea IMHO in cases like this to
add xview + deps + packages using it to a list of packages to copy over
to the x86_64 repo from the i386 repo, so that it will be readily
available for those who want it.

My taking a look started with suse since they had x86_64 packages of
xview in their repo, but appearantly these have had the famous suse QA
done do them (iow none). I did find some other interesting patches in
there, which I have bundled in a smaller one with possible real fixes
and a larger one which fixes a load of warnings (but no where near all
warnings). I also have a patch which fixes some 64 bit related warnings
by adding the necessary prototypes, which isn't enough to get this
running but IMHO still should be applied / send upstream (Debian claims
to be upstream these days) as it is an improvement.
