Personally, I don't trust gcc to not introduce new warnings, and I'd
rather not lock users to whatever gcc version I've tested with.  So,
what I'd prefer is to enable -Werror conditionally on detecting the
gcc version that I know is supposed to be warning-free (gcc < 4.0.2 ?)
, and for newer gcc versions, drop the -Werror, but leave -Wall so
they at least show up, but don't prevent the build.
