Since checking all those warning flags takes an amount of time I find 
irritating,
here is an attempt at caching the results of checking compiler warning flag 
support

A couple of aspects which need definitely need review or testing:

* I've tried to get things right when not the first flag in the list of 
alternates is
supported, but this really needs testing with a compiler other than gcc

* The cache variable naming policy is a bit opaque me, so the names used may 
need corecting

* I've tried to be careful, but who knows what portability sins I have 
committed :-)

This change reduces the time to run the ./configure script produced from a 
configure.ac
containing just

AC_INIT([test], 1.0)
XORG_COMPILER_FLAGS
XORG_CWARNFLAGS
XORG_STRICT_OPTION
AC_OUTPUT()

from ~60s to ~20s on my cygwin machine, and from ~15s to ~9s on a linux VM 
running on the
same hardware
