Warnings in compile

Hi,

sitting here on my flight back I went through the list of all warnings gcc
spits out when using -Wextra. There are a whole lot of them (~ 1700) that
mostly (except one) fall into one of four classes:

- unused parameters: ~ 600
- some combination of signed and unsigned: ~ 600
Are we really sure that *all* compilers out there do handle this correctly?
- missing initializer: ~ 500
Probably coming from us initialising structures only partially.
- empty body in else statement: 14 all in backend/commands/copy.c
There are some #defines of the form
#define foo if(1) { ... } else
that are called as foo;

I see the need for the macro to expand as block, but what use hase the empty
else?

I assume that the only warning outside these classes is a false positive.
