Just replying to [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not seem to
forward to the list. Ok, here once again to perl6-internals

Yes its gcc-specific. Thats why the -WX vs -Wno-X part is in gcc.pl
The general part in progs.pl of this patch just sets the element
cc_warn in Config::Data, which is used in the Makefile just behind
${ccflags}. An other way to do it is not to introduce a command-line
option, and use ccflags for this, but then you need even more the
gcc-specific part to switch of the automatic warnings, because the
later warning option takes precedence over the former one.
But the cc_warn mechanism was already there, I just made it accessible
through Configure.pl. If this option is called --ccwarn or --cc_warn I
have no strong preference, and I've chosen --ccwarn similar to
--ccflags.

I think its easy. We need a file for MSVC too, and there we can do all
the special cases for MSVC. Unfortunatly the only Visual compiler I've
access too is a russian version, so i can't submit any patches on
this.
