C++ is pedantic about things that C isn't
since the code has never seen a C++ compiler it evolved to satisfy C

with g++ mamake.c failed with:
mamake.c:2215: error: invalid conversion from 'const void*' to 'void*'
arguably wrong but ok with all C compilers that hit it

and there were also a bazillion warnings like this:
mamake.c:2209: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'

I'm not opposed to getting it to compile with a C++ compiler
but right now its not a high priority on my todo list
the first few rounds would probably feel like death by a thousand diagnostics
