All that we add in 3RDARTY code (**/dist/*), not just MD.

In NetBSD code in some cases I haven't marked the initialization
if it was an initialization that I would have done anyway as a
coding style issue, I may not have done this.

However, if in doubt I used:
	somevar =3D 0;	/* XXXGCC -Wuninitialized */
(after ensuring that `0' was the appropriate initialization value;
sometimes another value such as a code-specific error code was
more appropriate).

(There's an argument to be had that I should have marked more
of them this way).

I also don't just initialize the variable to appease the warning,
because that can mask a bug; careful analysis of the code flow
is required.  I discovered at least 30 bugs this way, including
some potential data corruption issue.

Cheers,
Luke.
