Because in my view, the code being accurate and compilinig without warnings
and errors (and I always use -Werror) is more important than the style. What's
the style worth if it doesn't compile anyway?

You can easily invoke checksrc manually on your code if you want to check it
without actually compile!

And BTW, my primary build machine is several years old, uses a stock old HDD
and it builds libcurl much faster than ~10 minutes...
