My changes to sre have nothing to do with these warnings. These
are being caused by the fact that gcc throws a warning even with
casts in the following situation:

    char i = 0;
    if ((int)i < 256)
       ...

Unlike one might think, this is a valid test because the type of
'i' is not always char.

I won't fix these warnings until I find an elegant solution to
workaround the gcc stupidity.
