Ah - interesting. Never noticed this switch before.

However, I still think that disabling useful warnings should be a last
resort and if done I still prefer disabling one over a whole set of
them. Further: they will pop up again when compiling for a 64-bit target
architecure. Overthis it's much easier to just rewrite the few lines
causing the problem (that's what I did to get rid of the warnings).

The intent behind my post was to let the developers know about it.
Warnings do not prevent a regression test to pass and if there are some
it doesn't really hurt anyone. But in this (probably MSC specific) case
the output becomes quite verbose.
