it seems that these keep being created over
and over in different source and header files...
as well as the tons of (struct sockaddr.... ) casts

[look for satosin, sintosa, in netinet for example

why not "standardize" them:

sys/socket.h: #define SA ((struct sockaddr *)s) 
netinet/in.h: #define SIN ((struct sockaddr_in *)s)
netatalk/at.h: #define SAT ((struct sockaddr_at *)s)
etc...

the define of SA is of general user utility especially
with any level of prototype warnings enabled....
