You will find gcc-3.3 even more useful, combined with careful inline
parameter tuning!

Without -Wall I dont see warnings from the POOMA headers with g++/icpc,
but you are right, theres something to clean up. But as time is always
short, fixing warnings that dont annoy me is not very high on my priority
list. But I'm sure we're accepting patches to correct them (maybe...).
