Hi Jim,

Only on glibc systems, I hope? On other platforms, there will be lots of other
warnings that I don't want to deal with individually.

Globally, I don't think it is such a good move. We need more unit tests,
and with a limited amount of time, I think it is better to write 2
"quick & dirty" style tests than 1 polished and warning-free test.
Therefore I'm not in favour of requiring a 100% warning-free tests directory
with various kinds of gcc warnings. If a test gives no warnings with
"gcc -Wall", and has a couple of comments, that's all I would demand
from a test.
