When the W=1 reports started showing up, it took me a while to figure
out these warnings were only enabled at W=1.  I asked Philip to help
denote these in the reports, and Philip was kind enough to add a note
in the report about W=1.  I agree that the note could still be more
prominent.  Another part of me wants to move -Wmissing-prototypes to
W=2, but that's just biding time until 0day starts reporting on those.
