-Wno-deprecated-declarations gets rid of those warnings/errors. Finding
where you use deprecated functions becomes very hard if the compiler
doesn't spit out a warning for you. I'd prefer to keep the current
warnings, but maybe point out the -Wno-deprecated-declarations a little
more clearly in the docs.
