I agree that users doesn't need -Werror. I use CFLAGS to set lots of
debugigng flags, and I can set -Werror there, too.

Unless we make sure that the code work with the most-pedantic-compiler
out there, then maybe we can keep the flag. If we aren't able to make
it compile without warnings on gcc4, I think we should remove -Werror
it until we avoid these warnings.

I guess that this is not a problem.  :)
