If anyone would like to offer suggestions, I'm listening.

On a different note wrt to integer format string warnings: These
warnings tend to creep back in whenever you compile on a different
platform that has different integers widths. AFAIK the only way to get
really rid of them for good is to use the macros from inttypes.h
But that's already flagged for the integer types cleanup in ticket #319

That was my first inclination too, but the error isn't on that line.

Oh! Of course.

I'm pretty clueless about the course of action that needs to happen for ticket #319. Could you give some guidance? Maybe I could go ahead and do it sometime if I knew what needs done.
Basically the problem is that the uintXX_t and intXX_t types have to be
printed differently on different platforms (e.g., int64_t could be a %d
or %ld or %lld"). Using the macros gives you a portable way to specify
the format specifier.
So, you have to search the code for all instances were a fixed width
integer is printed (or formated) and change the format specifier to use
one of the macros.
However, I'm not sure whether it makes sense to do this before we check
whether we need to use 64 bit integers in some places. Since these
changes might require another set of updating format specifiers.
Hmm. The error looks to be in this line:
prefixes.append(""); // "" = "no prefix"
where prefixes is of type "name_list", which is defined in List.h as
PList(char). Thus the append's prototype is "char *". But it seems
converting a string literal to a "char *" now results in this warning
(the prototype would have to be a "const char*")......
I think the quickest hotfix would be
prefixes.append(strdup(""));
(and add an #include <string.h>)
