Doug Torrance reported a problem with some versions of AWK which caused the
signed/unsigned attribute to not be properly ignored, because the regular
expression was using a GNU extension to keep it simple.
While trying to reproduce it, I discovered that mawk was chocking on one
regexp used in parsing the type+names parsing of structure members.
This patch is rewriting the parsing, because hacking regexp to make them
fall working is still not the best solution for maintainability. There is
now a clearer code which is also safer because it will handle more
gracefully corner cases.

Because the C compiler cannot check the consistency between the type of the
variable being pointed to, and the type expected by the call-back function
that is used to parse and store the value from the configuration file,
there is a risk of mismatch that can cause Window Maker to misbehave due to
data corruption, which depends strongly on the configuration values and the
architecture on which Window Maker is running.
This patch introduces a script that checks the consistency where possible, to
raise the issues when performing "make check".
