Wholesale suppression of warnings is generally a bad idea. Especially
when they are security-related. Better to suppress your irritation :-)
Alternatively, maybe change the check to something like:
X=`readlink "$f"`
echo "$X" | \
grep "SYMLINK_OK" || \
echo "$X" grep -q / && $WARN [...]
Then put a comment line with "SYMLINK_OK" in any file you don't want to
be bugged about. That's off the top of my head so may be wrong (in
particular check precedence, I think and binds tighter than or?) but
you get the idea.
