Different compilers warn about different things - compiling with a wide
variety of compilers (GCC, MSVC, various proprietary compilers for
UNIX-flavored OSes, etc.) is useful as they maximize the number of
possible problems caught by compilers.  (I've checked in fixes to
libpcap and tcpdump due to problems caught by the Sun C compiler or the
Digital^H^H^H^H^H^H^HCompaq^H^H^H^H^H^HHP compiler for
Alpha/Digital^H^H^H^H^H^H^HTru64 UNIX; GCC didn't catch those problems.)

It might, for some compilers, be possible to get it to issue more
warnings.  I don't know, offhand, the best switches to use with MSVC in
for Ethereal.
