Don't worry: I don't plan to find a short way to silence the compiler. It
is "easier" because at least the compiler is telling you exactly where
to look and what it doesn't like. And it seems a good way to learn the
code starting, litteraly, by bits without at the moment understanding
the big picture.
Note: I will work for sure some hours on it on week-ends, mainly on
Sundays. I may happen to work on it supplementary to that when time
permits---or because I'm bored at what I'm doing currently. So silence
from me for days will not be a sign that I dropped the ball and if
someone beats me at what I was planning to do, I will simply take the next
"reachable" (for me) problem remaining.
