Cast alignment warnings

OK, many thanks for all the explanations in this thread.
So if I understand well, we can remove -Wcast-align from the list of warnings used
during a "make warnings".


We have in timecaf/timehash an unsigned char class that is casted to an unsigned int*
for the sake of sscanf().

    n = sscanf(path, "timecaf-%02x/%02x/%04x.CF", (unsigned int*)&class, &t1, &t2);

I bet it is not a problem either -- because a char is 1-byte aligned, so it can be cast
to any other types, especially a 4-byte aligned int.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
