Oops, that are two false positives that I try to avoid but ...

Now corrected.

Yes, that is a general problem. If clearly to see I try to exclude such 
"external" or "third-party" sub-directories but often it's not so easy to 
decide. At least I exclude now "src/lib/crypto/builtin/aes/" although I 
have the impression that there are more directories to be excluded.

There are no "spectacular" errors and many of the found errors are "only" 
in comments and not "user visible". So ignore the irrelevant errors and 
take the report just as an information.

If at any time there is an interest to analyse a repository code so let it 
know me.

Regards

Jens
