Thanks!  I have committed your patch as SVN revision 21153.  We'll 
remove this option and turn -Werror back on by default once I work out 
the warnings in gcc40 that gcc3 doesn't show.  I'm now using gcc40 on my 
main dev box.  This will get the buildbots going again too.

I'm working on fixing gcc40 generated warnings now..
