    Implemented optional support to allow unresolved names
    within ASL Package objects. A null object is inserted in
    the package when a named reference cannot be located in
    the current namespace. Enabled via the interpreter slack
    flag which Linux has enabled by default (acpi=strict
    to disable slack).  This should eliminate AE_NOT_FOUND
    exceptions seen on machines that contain such code.
    
    Implemented an optimization to the initialization
    sequence that can improve boot time. During ACPI device
    initialization, the _STA method is now run if and only
    if the _INI method exists. The _STA method is used to
    determine if the device is present; An _INI can only be
    run if _STA returns present, but it is a waste of time to
    run the _STA method if the _INI does not exist. (Prototype
    and assistance from Dong Wei)
    
    Implemented use of the C99 uintptr_t for the pointer
    casting macros if it is available in the current
    compiler. Otherwise, the default (void *) cast is used
    as before.
    
    Fixed some possible memory leaks found within the
    execution path of the Break, Continue, If, and CreateField
    operators. (Valery Podrezov)
    
    Fixed a problem introduced in the 20051202 release where
    an exception is generated during method execution if a
    control method attempts to declare another method.
