I agree. Prototypes *really do* help.

Why *really* get disciplined and use -Wall? I tried this when I first looked
at NetBSD and I can tell you it's not a pretty sight!

We always use -Wall and our programmers haven't done their job if there are
any warnings on any platform (including 16, 32 and 64 bit machines). I'd like
to see NetBSD do the same.
