True, although not strictly necessary, I think it would be nice to try
to cleanup as many warnings as possible. If for nothing else than to
get myself better acquainted with the code base. I just performed a
pull and full build of the modular sources and across all the
sub-projects my build generated 4918 warnings!

Many of the warnings are with reference to the deprecated
Xfree/Xalloc/Xmalloc/etc calls, which I'd like to cleanup anyway, and
if there are other low-hanging warnings I can pick off, all the
better.

If nothing else I'm coming to understand the ABI issue a little bit more :-)

Thanks, I didn't know that.
