I think this is *awesome*. I would really like to see this included in autoconf. It helps developers (by automatically warning them of problems) and later builders (many build warnings are a warning signal that the code *may* be of poor quality). I note that this also includes "AC_APPEND_FLAG", which is a great general-purpose mechanism for portably setting compiler flags (it only sets flags if the compiler supports the flag). --- David A.
