Early last year as we were getting Xiphos back into the Fedora repos,
their package review folks raised questions that led us to introduce
-Wall -Werror.  The result was a rush of editing that eliminated around
150 questionable code uses and at least 4 definite bugs.

The problem is that we can't use -Wall -Werror anywhere but rather
recent Fedora because certain system headers, especially
mozembed/xulrunner, are broken on older Fedora and any Ubuntu system.

-Wextra was also recommended to me...but I can't use it (productively)
anywhere.  Far too many system headers are far too broken, on any and
all systems.
