 - do not assume that stat() succeeds (tiny race condition)

* added numerous casts to silence compilation warnings introduced with const chars in module_config_t. still needs severe testing on other Macs.

Might break stuff, but I cannot test much because of DBus vs Win32 breakage(!)

- and merge some ASM/SSM code

* destroy some mutex'es once in a while to prevent memleaks. Suggested by a forumuser, name pending.
