We should try to eliminate at least *some* of the warnings issued by
gcc -Wall, among them things like "control reaches end of non-void
function" and "return with no value in function returning non-void",
etc. Fixing them now may result in fewer headaches later on.
Most of, as far as I know, is broken Berkeley code that don't declare
void functions as void. Thus, it's not really a problem. I'd much
rather concentrate on real problems that stuff which is merely gcc -Wall
flamage.
Running various pieces of our code against purify to make sure we don't
have any memory allocation errors would be a much better use of time,
for example.....
