According to the letter of that, this patch isn't acceptable because it
causes warnings not previously seen to appear.

All the C files in classes/ weren't being compiled with an of the gcc
warnings flags. With this patch they are, and there are an awful lot of
warnings, more than I could hope to understand and clear up (within any
sensible time period before submitting a rash of patches, by which time
everyone else would have moved the code on)

Pragmatically I believe it's better to apply it than not, but the raft of
warnings it now creates will obscure any "real" new ones.
