[icqlib-dev] [patch] cast alignment fixes

[Lars C. <la...@cs...>]

Description: This patch fixes cast alignment bugs detected by using the
-Wcast-align option for gcc. Although

	*((DWORD*)&buffer[5]) = value;

may work on an intel processor, it is not portable because some
architechtures (e.g. sparc) cannot copy DWORDS if they are not aligned on
a multiple of 4 bytes. The attached patch fixes all occurences of such
statements to:

	memcpy(buffer + 5, &value, sizeof(DWORD));

The patches is tested and icqlib works on Sparc Solaris with is (UDP
communication at least. TCP code is also changed, but untested - it does
compile though). icqlib would about with a "bus error" or "segmentation
fault" without this patch.
