There's no intention of stopping make showing errors.  There is an issue 
with warnings - make doc produces so many that the output is pretty much 
unreadable, and they've been ignored for a long time - so having warnings 
turned off by default is the preferred option.  We should allow them to be 
turned back on, though.
