Evgeny, I am shocked and astounded. Please explain to me why the
answer isn't something like...
Find out if these unused thingies really are unused and delete
them. And if for some strange bazaar reason they really are used
but because of some weird voodoo the compiler thinks they aren't,
find a way to show the compiler "the light" _*WITHOUT RESORTING TO
EXTRA CFLAGS*_.
Evgeny, I know that you have probably forgotten more about C than I'll
ever know, but lets not just give in on this and hide things behind
CFLAGS or anything else.
As a complete novice where C is concerned, I view _any_ warning as
bad. I'm not a novice where elisp is concerned, and I view _any_
warning as bad. I honestly believe that all software should compile
totally error and warning free.
