I know and I totally get your point and from the technical point of view
you are absolutely right, but ...

  - I'm too lazy to continue writing void everywhere.
  - It looks totally ugly...
  - I don't see how ignoring that and writing ambigous fkt() causes any
    issues regarding security or stability. One will notice it if
    parameters to a function are ignored.

I really prefer the previous version, because in the other case there
are parameters of that function which aren't used. Same for reload,
true, false, etc.

Is there any advantage of writing (void), except that it is more
"conform"?

BTW I will look at the other patches later, I'd just like to reject
patches which should be rejected IMO as early as possible.

Cheers,
Thorsten
