Adam,
Would it be possible to keep the passing tests with warnings green, and
only *slightly* change its tint? Currently they are white, and it sends a
strong signal that something is wrong with all these tests. I tried to
follow the links, but the majority of warnings are silly, buggy,
false-positive, or inadequate. For instance "warning: rvalue references are
a C++11 extension" I never intend to fix them, and at the same time, I do
want to send the message that the library is (or becomes) bug-free with the
help of green color.

Sorry for changing my mind like that.

Regards,
&rzej
