We also talked about trying to look into the number of compiler warnings
that are generated. I produced a graph showing the status as of the last
release [1], parsed from the output of a build [2]. Most of the warnings
are produced from auto-generated code, for shadowed and/or unused
variables; and Ian Hinder has some ideas about how to fix this. Others
will have to be looked into by hand.

I will setup a cron job updating this graph every night and announce
once that is setup and working.

In principle this should be an easy addition to any already present
automated build (just build with -Wall, capture the build logs and run
two scripts to generate that plot). However, the current script is
likely to get confused if the build is done in parallel and thus the log
is all mixed up, so I build in serial for this for now. I opened a
ticket (https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1180) to collect ideas
how to deal with that.
