No go I'm afraid. MS VC 6.0 (AFAICT) doesn't allow you to specify
warnings to ignore from the command line. It's all or nothing.

As that doesn't work and this issue is breaking the buildbot, shall I

It might remove a few queries to the list, and as VS 2005 Express is
free, I can't think anyone in the right mind would attempt to start WS
dev on VC 6.0. I suppose the main issue would be the buildbot.
