Look at the code in lib/raster/raster.c.

It converts the CELL value given by its second argument to the type
specified by its third argument and stores the converted value at the
pointer given by its first argument.

The above code is logically equivalent to:

	*(outptr[i]++) = (int) tmpcell;

except that outptr[i] could be a CELL*, FCELL* or DCELL*, with the
actual type determined at run time.
