For the releases we (try to) turn off warnings as errors because, well,

For 0.99.6 warnings-as-errors was turned off in the top level configure
but not (by mistake) in the wiretap/configure script.
A-Ah... well, that was the source of my problem when I tried to build on
RH9/RHEL3... well, again it's not a big deal, forcing it to be disabled
work with no problem.
However I would recommend to be consistent with the top level settings
and turn off warnings-as-errors also on wiretap.
Treating warnings as errors is useful only for a developer, but is only
going to create trouble for somebody that just want to use wireshark
(and perhaps can't find a prebuilt version for his platform).
Yeah, that was the intention, but we missed it on that release.
