I'm not sure this is a good reason to stop the warns sweeps.  The
real reason for doing warns sweeps is so that we can see warnings
that relate to real or potential bugs in the code without having
to wade through spurious warnings. This should probably continue
regardless.

(That, and the fact that there'll always be a better compiler with
more warnings comming....)

We can always suspend the -Werror flag after the import until the
new warnings have been fixed (both the new and old warnings will
have to be fixed at some stage anyway).

I have some work in usr.bin which I'd like to finish, but if it
would make the gcc 3 import easier, I can test these warns patches
with gcc 3 before committing them. It would be easy enough to ask
people doing warns work to check with both versions of gcc.

	David.
