If I use "unsigned char*", then I get no warning. However, I fail to see why 
using an additional variable makes a difference...

This does not work (&b[0] is a pointer to an unsigned char, right?):
   unsigned char b[4];
   htole32a(&b[0], value);

while this does:
   unsigned char b[4];
   unsigned char *bp=&b[0];
   htole32a(bp, value);

Anyway, I have a local patch that gets rid of all the byteorder.h macros and 
instead copies all little-endian encoded values manually byte-by-byte. I'm 
currently away from home, so I cant test it with my magicolor scanner. I'll 
commit it as soon as I'm back home (probably tomorrow).

Sorry for the breakage!
Reinhold
