I think that it is completely up to Tim.  If the copyrights and licenses were
documented, we would benefit from simplifying the package and use the pristine
upstream sources.

seaview, commit r6980.

The problem is that CFLAGS are not passed automagically.  In most cases it does
not make much difference, but for Seaview, the packages passes a lot of options
through CFLAGS (which were earlier passed by patching the Makefile, but I prefer
to avoid patching if possible).

Also, now that I get used to diff the build logs before uploading, I prefer that
-Wall is properly passed; this is more informative.
