Huzzah!  We took a big step back lint-wise when we switched from the old 
build to the new.  There were many directories that were lint 
clean/Werror before the switch.  But post-switch, people got sloppy 
about lint warnings, and those still using the old build would always 
have to clean up those errors just to get work done.

Thankfully, I am no longer one of them.
