Those signed/unsigned warning are well known and harmless.  If you
tell me a compiler option to suppress these warning I will add this as
a default option for this compiler.  We already did this for gcc 4
which also complains about it. 

GnuPG 1.9 has been changed to to solve the unsigend/signed conflicts
(needs quite some casts and I still wonder whether this is really for
the good).  We won't change 1.4.2 as this will for sure introduce
bugs.

BTW, now that some Sun stuff seems to be free, anyone thinking of
implementing funopen in their libc?
