Comment (by ramey):

 The reason this "virtual" is not necessary is that the destructor is
 protected so it cannot be called directly so there is no need to add a new
 member to the virtual function table.  GCC doesn't have a convenient way
 to suppress bogus warnings so to avoid this warning I had to do this.
 This is basically the wrong thing to do but if I don't do it, I get
 complaints about "bugs" in the library.  If you want to suggest the usaage
 of a praga or something for msvc - I'll put it in.
