commit 98495b896dc77493db21b1847f508f64dc6ee7d3
Author: Colin Walters <walters@verbum.org>
Date:   Fri Dec 19 20:02:14 2008 -0500

    Enable -Werror by default with --enable-maintainer-mode, and change warnings
    
    Important compiler warnings were being lost in the noise from warnings
    we know about but aren't problems, and moreover made using -Werror
    difficult.  Now we expect *all* developers and testers to be using
    -Werror.
