Nice, to hear this. It's a quite annoying "feature". But I wonder why
this is also the default behaviour of the configure script. One must
always explicit add --disable-more-warnings to the command line. Otherwise
the build will horribly fail (at least on SuSE Linux 6.4/7.0).

AFAIK this is only neccessary with Eazel maintained packages (oaf,
gnome-vfs, nautilus, medusa and ammonite). Are there any reasons for this
or is it a general bug?

I will look through the packages and make a patch if its desired.
