That's a good idea. I already changed the configure.ac locally, at the line 
containing AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE and added ([-Wall]). But I didn't see that much 
of a difference somehow.

Until releasing the code as a stable release, we should enable the necessary 
warnings that help us develop clean code. I would suggest adding more 
options, because -Wall doesn't mean what it says. A few interesting options 
should be added too.

A cite from [1], Perl uses:
gcc -g -O -pedantic -Wall -W -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith
-Wbad-function-cast -Wcast-qual -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Wno-long-long

The GCC online documentation explain these options [2]. Some options only 
apply to C code. I guess it doesn't hurd C++ code though. Should we add 
these options?

Cheers,
Jayjay
