+several.  Grepping for compiler warnings, for example, is really painful
right now on any MSVC critter.  I've resorted to grepping for "warning C",
which skips the noise messages, but I'm never sure if I'm missing
something.

(If anyone knows how to shut up clang's useless "N warnings generated"
messages, on longfin for example, I'd be for changing that too.)
