Or maybe, modify the definition of AC_LANG_WERROR itself, allowing it to
accept an optional ON/OFF argument?  Then:

  - AC_LANG_WERROR([ON]) would have the same effect as the existing
    behaviour, and would be the default for backward compatibility,
    so continuing to support use without any argument.

  - AC_LANG_WERROR([OFF]) would cancel the effect of any prior use
    of AC_LANG_WERROR([ON]), (or would simply have no effect if not
    previously ON, and could be silently ignored).

Just a thought, but seems somehow cleaner than having two complementary
macros, IMHO.
