I'm not sure.  I generate both headers and source files.
Currently in the headers, I have such a warning.  But all of
the generated files have a "zz." prefix. I could either put the big
warning also in the source files or remove it from the header
files.  It seems to me that the naming convention might be
enough of a warning.  Also, I've liked the prefix since it groups
the generated code together.
