[Opensim-dev] Current Status of OpenSim Git Master

[Melanie]

Hi Tom,

a warning safari is highly appreciated. You don't need to create a
Mantis for each warning, simply create one for the warnings and
attach the patches to it. For pure warning removal with no
functional changes, the patches can be larger than what we usually
ask for with functional changes.
