Most of the C99 warnings I get are from GNU headers (gcc, libstdc++), so 
it's a bit puzzling to hear that such warnings aren't generated on other 
platforms.  Oh well.

However, I think this should be a good swift kick in the ass to motivate
someone to trim the KDE 1.x and 2.x cruft out of the admin dir.  Sure it
would work around the problem more than it would solve it, but if someone
needs to make KDE 1 or 2 apps, I'm sure they can check out the old stuff
easily.
