Not at all, I agree completely.

Should be fixed in CVS now, please verify.

I have added -Wshadow to the CFLAGS that are added by
--enable-developer-mode.  Hopefully I (or someone else) will get
annoyed at the warnings and fix them eventually, there were quite a
few of them.  Further, the function prototypes seem to be duplicated
in several places in includes/gnutls/ and lib/, I think we should try
to only have function prototypes in one place.  It is less work to
maintain all copies.

Thanks,
