Ubuntu Lucid's gcc-4.3.3 emits the following warning about not checking
the return value of write() even if the result is casted to void.
udp_send.c: In function ‘udp_close_target’:
udp_send.c:65: warning: ignoring return value of ‘write’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result
The usual approach to store the return value in a dummy variable is
not optimal because the upcoming gcc-4.6 will warn that the variable
is set but otherwise unused.
Likely there are more places in the paraslash code which have the same
problem, so this patch introduce the do_nothing macro in para.h which,
creatively enough, does nothing. The new macro is employed like
if (write(...))
do_nothing;
This gets rid of the warning on Lucid and does not give new warning
on gcc-4.6.
