Hmmm - at what level are the tests run at?  That is if using msvc at
warning level 3 and it comes up "clean" but that doesn't happen
at level 4, it the library "clean".

For gcc - I don't know if there  is a concept of warning level
or if there is something analogous.  But there certain warnings
can be suppressed, and there is -weff and -pedantic etc.

Exactly what is the hoop we're expected to jump through?
