Just a thought: wouldnt it be better to do it the other way around? Like
that you dont have to add WARN_CFLAGS to every non-python Makefile.am,
only need to change the python ones:
In configure.in:
PYTHON_CFLAGS="-all -flags -used -by -both -python -and -common -cflags"
CFLAGS="-Wall -Werror -pedantic -ansi ${PYTHON_CFLAGS}"

Then in all Python Makefile.am's:
CFLAGS=$(PYTHON_CFLAGS)

I did not test this, just guessing it should give the same result with
less work.
