Comment (by tbode):

 Upon retrospect the perl method, while more dangerous in general, is more
 elegant and useful in this case. For this ''specific case'' of
 removing/modifying a compiler flag, the danger is minimal and could be
 decreased by only applying the perl script on files where this issue could
 possibly come up (config.mk files in this case's scheme as I see it):

    {{{find . -name config.mk -print | xargs perl -pi -e 's/-Werror//g'}}}

 This would leave any changelogs alone (though comments in the mk files
 could be modified) and be more likely to not require modification between
 PAPI version updates. I would make more of an issue if the change were
 more complicated, but I don't think this is particularly worth the effort
 for this patch. Whether you want to continue the discussion on the other
 perl-script based patch is beyond this ticket.
