Maybe it's just me being picky after using lint, etc. for 25 years,
but I always prefer to address, correct or silence the individual
warnings rather than disable warnings completely. This has saved me
a lot of grief in the past where the really important warning made
the difference in solving a problem. So if you don't mind, I'd like
to work in the background to clean up the remainder of the warnings.

I have to admit that I hadn't thought this far ahead.

Do we really need to save the generated files under svn?

I have to confess that I usually bring up the copy from the FLTK site
with the comments and don't usually look at my local copy.

What I would suggest is that the generated html is made available via
the document links on the site. The full document source would still
be available in the tarballs/svn for serious developers who probably
would have no problem with downloading and installing doxygen. For
casual users, maybe we could look at generating a single file version
(doxygen to LaTeX to pdf perhaps?) and to include in the tarball.
