On some machines the warnings stop the compilation, so they are more
serious than normal warnings which still let you compile FlightGear.

Great.

I don't know (and don't care too much) why the warning leads to the
error.

But I know the reason for the warning. It is well known that this =
+=A7=A7!
warning comes when a debug name has more than 255 chars. This happens
with the STL, which uses really long names. So, it is not a JSBSim /
=46lightGear problem, but a MSVC problem. However, the problem is so
severe that somehow we *have* to work around it.

This is quite silly, since the warning is much worse than what it
warns about - debug names are truncated to 255 chars.
