Nod.  Do you not see those when you build it the normal way?  

We could, of course, fix shapelib code to eliminate warnings if we want.  I
did not consider doing so to be part of my mission statement.  Those rcsid 
things are typical in code that tries to jam CVS tags into strings, which is 
a somewhat old-fashioned thing to do (it lets you check internal versioning 
stuff using "strings", but modern compilers dislike it).
