All obsolete things should be mostly fixed by running `autoupdate'
For fixing the other kind of warnings I'll need to find out more about
that autoconf stuff.

With -Wall hopefully someone notices that he just introduced a warning
with his change and trys to fix this before commiting.

This would be just more consistent.
But yes for the compiler and so for the code itself this is more
important.
