I had a quick look through the patch. It would be nice if you could
split out the patch into seperate parts. ie. at least the warning fixes
and the compilation problems. Also, the other potential issue with the
warning fixes is that it tends to make it harder to merge in changes
from xpdf proper. However, I didn't do the merge last time so it would
be better if the people who did commented on how much this type of
thing matters.
