I'm sorry for the offtopic, but does anyone know a reason why a
condition in mac.c

> if ((a < 0) || (a > 255) || (b < 0) || (b > 255) ||
> (c < 0) || (c > 255) || (d < 0) || (d > 255) ||
> (e < 0) || (e > 255) || (f < 0) || (f > 255))

can not be rewritten as:

> if (((a | b | c | d | e | f) < 0) ||
> ((a | b | c | d | e | f) > 255))

It seems more compact and a compiler can optimize it to keep a result
of a binary OR for the comparison with 255...
