Mark Dickinson added the comment:

How many extra warnings do you get by adding these flags (e.g., just by doing 
'export CFLAGS= ...' before building)?  It might be useful to see a sampling of 
those warnings.

The addition of these flags should be conditional on gcc's version being >= 
4.3:  gcc 4.2 apparently has a different meaning for -Wconversion (to do with 
implicit conversions when passing function arguments), and generates crazy 
numbers of warnings on my OS X 10.6 machine (which comes with gcc 4.2).

Why '-Wno-sign-conversion'?  Is fixing all the places that have implicit sign 
conversions a reasonable goal, or are there just too many of those?
