Thanks for getting the ball rolling on this. A couple of thoughts.
First, how does this compare to the warnings and manywarnings modules of Gnulib? They seem to do something similar. See:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/warnings.html http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/manywarnings.htmlSecond, from a brief look at the patch it appears that it is derived from code that other people have written, which would mean we'd need to get copyright papers from them too.
