I remember running into this on some cross-platform program I
dabble with.  As near as I can tell, some compilers recognize
'#warn', and others want '#warning'.  And one of them would
always complain about whichever one it did not like, even if
you tried to hide it within a #if/#endif.

This is annoying when you have something that you want to be a
compile-time WARNING and not a compile-time error...
