this isn't even really the case, as gcc is tremendously lax when it
comes to warnings - things like empty structs, no ; after default: in
switch statements, having non-static initializers, etc. etc.  So, if you
*really* want to be getting rid of warnings you should be including some
mix of -ansi and -pedantic.

but i digress - i've had a stinky couple-of-days and am in a bad mood,
but i do agree with owen's sentiments.
