Sparse issues many "Using plain integer as NULL pointer" warnings
while checking nedmalloc.c (at least 98 such warnings before giving
up due to "too many warnings"). In addition, sparse issues some
"non-ANSI function declaration" type warnings for the symbols
'win32_getcurrentthreadid', 'malloc_stats' and 'malloc_footprint'.
In order to suppress the NULL pointer warnings, rather than replace
all uses of '0' as a null pointer representation with NULL, we add
-Wno-non-pointer-null to SPARSE_FLAGS while checking nedmalloc.c.
In order to suppress the "non-ANSI function declaration" warnings,
we simply include the missing 'empty parameter list' prototype (void)
in the function declarations.

On MinGW, GCC 4.7.2 complains about
operation on 'p->m[end]' may be undefined
Fix this by replacing the faulty lines with those of 69825ca from
https://github.com/ned14/nedmalloc/blob/master/nedmalloc.c

Nedmalloc's source code has a cute #define construct to avoid inserting
an if() statement, because that might interact badly with enclosing if()
statements. However, GCC > 4 complains with a "warning: value computed
is not used". So we cast the result to "void".
GCC also does not understand the Visual C++ specific pragmas, so we need
to disable them for MinGW.
We need to include malloc.h on Windows even if we happen to compile the
stuff as a MinGW program. Otherwise the function declaration of alloca()
is missing.

The standard allocator on Windows is pretty bad prior
to Windows Vista, and nedmalloc is better than the
modified dlmalloc provided with newer versions of the
MinGW libc.
NedMalloc stats in Git
----------------------
All results are the best result out of 3 runs. The
benchmarks have been done on different hardware, so
the repack times are not comparable.
These benchmarks are all based on 'git repack -adf'
on the Linux kernel.
