So assigning a void pointer to a non-void pointer is legal in C and
illegal in C++. I seem to recall some people compiling all of Mesa
with C++ in some situations in the past. Also, there were some C
compiler(s) years ago that required these casts (can't remember which).
I'm kind of on the fence about this change.
