You'll also miss any other warning message that gets lost in the
voluminous make output.  (Been there, done that.  Compilation ran to
completion, fired up gnucash and watched it die horribly, wondered why
the ^%$# the compiler didn't catch the problem, then discovered someone
had turned off -Werror.  Its happened to me more than once.)  If you're
just worried about unused declarations I'd stick with the configure.in
hack to remove -Wunused (or add -Wno-unused).

I'd appreciate it if you'd always do a final compile with -Werror
enabled before submitting patches, as that is the default for compiling
gnucash.  If not, anyone who tests your patch might get hit by the very
compile warnings you chose to ignore.
