As an example, see the difference between

<http://curl.haxx.se/auto/log.cgi?id=20040220143445-21940> (29 warnings)
and
<http://curl.haxx.se/auto/log.cgi?id=20040220164010-25399> (17 warnings)

The former is compiled with CFLAGS="-fullwarn", the latter with
CFLAGS="-fullwarn -woff 1209" (the syntax is -woff number[,number,..])

I could do something similar for Intel icc warnings, e.g.
CFLAGS="-Wall -wd279" would turn off those same 'controlling expression is
constant' remarks (wish that those compiler vendors could agree on the same
number. I thought there was a standard there!)
