the point is what kind of warnings can be cleaned up:
to fix "pointer arguments differ in signedness" for example would be
a waste of time, as they are caused by guint8* used instaed of gchar*
on those systems (most) that treat char as an unsigned.
Actually GCC already has a way to avoid this: "-Wno-pointer-sign".
Apparently:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2005-01/msg00505.html
someone didn't like the fact that Linux had a few thousand such warnings
when compiled with GCC 4.
We could add that and probably cut down the number of GCC warnings by,
well, a few thousand.
Unfortunately I can't quite seem to figure out how to (correctly) test
if GCC will accept the option, though. Any ideas?
