No, I just forgot to use any special warning flags, because the code
was easily portable and I had no problems with it.
But for the future I think it would be ok to use some warning flags.
I don't think that a major cleanup is needed. Running gcc with
-Wall -Wno-unused will put out warnigs about

Cleaning this up wouldn't be a major task and including this
warnings are sometimes very useful.
2) unhandled enumeration values in switch.
Just add a default case
3) stdio formatting mismatches

This is ugly in my opinion too.
In my opionion it would be ok cleaning this up.
