We're using AT&T C++ 2.0 and RCS, and placing a line in the .C files
similar to

static char *RCSid = "$Header$";

to allow the use of ident to identify which .C files are used in an
executable.  The compiler complains:

"filename.C", line 1: warning:  ::RCSid defined but not used

This is pretty harmless, but I'd like to get it to shut up if possible.
Is it possible?  Advthanksance.
