Partly, because I never learned to read. Partly, I'm impatient. Partly, because when any
search containing "warning" is extremely unhelpful when you actually LIKE the warnings.
Partly, the man page says, "Make all warnings into errors" for -Werror when perhaps it
should say, "Treat warnings as errors: stop compilation immediately," or something like
that. The latter might, however, have something to do with my not being able to read.

It's probably my fault, so addressing the issue means sending some dark-suited fellers
around and roughing me up a bit. ;)

In any case, I appreciate the quick response!
