Subject:   WARNS granularity

IMO our WARNS values {0,1,2} are not granular enough.

I would like to make 1 ==> -Werror only.  This would help prevent
regressions with sources that do not produces warnings with the default
GCC warnings.

WARNS=2 would add:
        -Wall
I think having a WARNS level that is just -Wall is useful as -Wall is the
most common thing GCC users compile with if they use any warnings at all.

WARNS=3 would be the same as today's `1', which adds:
        -W -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith
        -Wno-uninitialized

WARNS=4 would be the same as today's `2', which adds:
        -Wreturn-type -Wcast-qual -Wwrite-strings -Wswitch -Wshadow

Objections?  Improvements to the idea?
