I have no plans to remove warnings in 4.2. In fact there is not likely to
be another release in the 4.x series unless a serious security hole
is discovered. If you see actual bugs, of course go ahead and report them. 
I'll fix them in CVS and if there is need for another release they'll go 
in that.

If there are any classes that have virtual functions but no virtual 
destructor, they're probably not deleted through a base class so it's not 
an actual problem. If you see similar warnings on 5.0, go ahead and report 
them to me. This is a warning that I'm willing to fix since the fix is 
very low risk.
