Yeah, I thought this and David's other suggestion (warning to error)
were interesting. I'm more in favor of warning to error than making
include paths more complicated for the poor build folks.
It would be interesting to do a scan of free software C++ code and see
if people are using -Wno-deprecated at the moment. And if so, who and
why. Is synopsys using any of these backwards headers?
Hmm. I wonder if there is a way to limit google code searches to just
build bits?
