I think this should be left to the projects, and not incorporated into
CMake. VTK could, at the CMakeLists.txt level or elsewhere, choose to
disable these warnings. When it comes to disabling warnings, I
believe we need precision, not sledgehammers.

I agree with you, though, that C should not be deprecated. And it
isn't, except apparently for MSVC8 with some flags.
