can i ask what's that exactly?
return !!ast_category_get(config, category_name);
!! ?  is the same as:
return ast_category_get(config, category_name);

It's a little bit of C magic :-)

ast_category_get returns either NULL, or a pointer. We don't want to return that, we want to return an int (boolean value).

It goes like this:

If ast_category_get returns NULL, the first ! turns it into "true" (1), the second turns it into "false" (0).

If ast_category_get returns a pointer, the first ! turns it into "false" (0), the second turns it into "true" (1).

So in other words, it's a simple way to collapse any value into the normal "boolean" values.

I'm not sure what else this needs; it's a pretty straightforward cleanup patch that doesn't change any behavior.

This one doesn't cleanly apply (anymore) and even when it did, it created several functions which are entirely unused.  That's why it's not in yet :)

Rediffed against current CVS, and unused functions removed.

Fixed in CVS head.
