This sounds like a very good idea. If we disable all (switch) warnings 
we would probably oversee some that cause problems. But in many cases 
switch fall-throughs are intentional, in which cases they could be 
annotated-out. If only the compilers would support something like that...

Yes, I must strongly agree. Such a configure option would be very 
useful. The same goes for Marks proposal. --disable-switch-warnings and 
--disable-all-warnings would be nice.
