I've checked in most of those, with the exception of:

        some where the warning pointed out code that needed cleanups or
        fixes, in which case I put in the fix instead;

        some of the SMB ones, where I want to see whether the warning is
        pointing out a problem;

        the NCP stuff - Gilbert, is any of that stuff going to be used
        with the new NCP stuff, so that the arguments are no longer
        unused?

I've nailed a few more of them.

Well, there's still a fair bit of noise - the biggest offenders at this
point are:

        the generated dissectors for some GIOP protocols - fixing that
        "right", may be hard, as the generator might not know whether
        the variable in the boilerplate it generates will be used, so it
        might just have to flag *variables* with _U_ (it's generated
        code, so that sort of ugliness doesn't bother me all that much);

        the GIOP dissector itself;

        the GTP dissector;

        the ICQ dissector;

        the ISIS dissector;

        the ISUP dissector;

        the DCE RPC stuff, and NT services built atop it;

and some others, not quite as noisy, are:

        the AFS stuff;

        the IGMP dissector;

        and some with only a few complaints.

I'm inclined to wait a few days to see if this message prompts people to
clean up the biggest offenders, and then turn the warnings up if they're
not cleaned up in a few days.
