Bill,

Yeah, I'm aware of it, and a few others.  

After I update freetype, I pass on dashboard warnings to the freetype folks, and they fix them, but the problem is that other warnings get introduced, which they don't catch because they don't have extensive testing like VTK does, nor do they release release candidates for us to try first. 

Fixing the dashboard warnings requires diverging from the version of freetype used, which complicates future merges of newer freetypes.

Isn't there a facility to suppress warnings from 3rd party code?
