How can this possibly make gcc happy? "struct command_ptr" is not
a type no matter if you use C or C++.

I'd be all for renaming "host" to "struct host" everywhere and
doing the same for all obects (but not before 5.0 :-/), but this
patch can't compile at all.

terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
