Hi,

As a result of the last security vulnerability we had, I'm adding new code to checksrc that will alert us on uses of (v)sprintf, strcat and gets in the code base.

This is meant to be an additional tool to help us detect unsafe code easier, since all those functions are too easily use without careful considerations of all possible side-effects.

I also had to clean up some code so that this wouldn't immediately start complaining! =)

Comments or improvements?

Subject: [PATCH] checksrc: ban unsafe functions

The list of unsafe functions currently consists of sprintf, vsprintf,
strcat and gets.

Subsequently, some existing code needed updating to avoid warnings on
this.
