Great.

No Coda does not use exceptions, and there is only one place where it 
might, but we opted against it as it would limit the choice of compiler 
pretty much down to egcs. I don't think gcc 2.8.x has support for
exceptions. However gcc/g++ doesn't accept the -fno-exceptions flag, so 
this would have to be deduced by the configure script.

We just fixed a long filename bug having to do with storing a namelength
in a signed char instead of an unsigned char. I'd rather fix the lot of
warnings, at least that will reduce any chances of silly bugs staying
around.
