I assumed you'd done the build in a shell or ruby script and grepped
for the warnings, sorted them by type.  It would save me having to
write one to reproduce your results.  For if the maintainers are to
compare between platforms it would be useful to be able to diff
them.  I'll probably try to throw something together to do this but
will probably be beaten to it.
