Yes, of course.  Let me clarify my intended statement:
-Wall -Werror is *good* for cvs, but bad for releases. :-)

None the less, PC should be fixed.  I can look into a fix once I have 
the OK to update for the Header transitions.  Philippe, I take it, you 
don't intend to make another release fixing this issue and based on a 
previous -base/-gui releases?  Then I'll prepare a patch for PC to do 
both the Header update and fix some/all of these warnings.  I'm hoping 
to commit the Header transition in about 4 hours or so, depending on 
pending feedback.

Cheers,
David
