We can stop worrying about warnings in C: there are none, and a few
people regularly compile with pedantic compiler switches and fix
whatever they flag.

The problem of warnings is limited to Lisp, and then mostly to a few
specific packages.  Dmitry mentioned some of them.  From my POV, the
worst barrage is in CEDET, so IMO that should be the place where we
apply the first efforts.
