Okay, hope you'll fix that!

Good, that makes way more sense.

I like to also use "-Wextra" when using gcc.
If I understand patch correctly, I could then use:
 AC_APPEND_CFLAG_IFVALID([-Wextra])
It will then add "-Wextra"... but only if the compiler *accepts* that flag.

BTW, I recently got a patch from someone on a project that
force-added "-Wall" to configure.ac. Dale Visser's addition to autoconf is way 
better,
because it doesn't presume that "all the world is gcc".
