I'd rather not.  All developers generally use this which is who
you want to see the warnings.  adding -Wall to the general
build will generate a lot more (mostly unnecessary noise)
when admins.  I'm fine with moving the default in SAMBA_3_0
to set --enable-developer=yes, but I don't want to change this
default in the release branch.
