Vlad,
  The warning from libbiokit could be fixed, I'll have to send any patches
on that back to the maintainers of that codebase.

The warnings that come from things like compiling STAMP may not
worth worrying about, as any changes we make to the VMD
tree won't benefit the original STAMP code directly. It would be better
if we worked directly to give such fixes to the authors of STAMP and then
re-incorporate a fixed version of the STAMP source code into the VMD plugin
tree rather than just patching our own copy.

The warnings from endianswap should be ignored, this is a natural consequence
of having to incorporate all of the endian routines in each of the plugins
that uses them.

The vtfplugin warnings could be fixed by changing the code if one likes.

The msmsplugin warning is not relevant as you will see when you read the code.

Cheers,
  John Stone
