I should point out that DOSFS was not developed as an in vitro
computer science project; it was originally a very small module in a
much larger piece of firmware in a real product. Without going into
details (as I don't remember them), the uint* declarations all come
from the coding style requirements of the containing project. The
containing project also had no standard library, so part of the
extraction process involved changing over to str* functions.

OK, that makes sense - neither clever nor sinister...

I effectively pushed all the casts up another level, at which point they 
were all unecessary - I can at least feel relaxed that I didn't miss 
anything important in doing that.
