using GOA to port libraries

[Norman Feske]

Hi Pirmin,

as a word of caution, we haven't used Goa for the porting of libraries 
yet. In particular, the linking arguments for building shared objects 
are currently not handled by Goa. Goa is also not equipped with a way to 
publish a library's ABI (symbol file + headers). We eventually want to 
go in this direction, but you are the first. ;-)

The strict default can be overridden in the two following ways.

1. Telling goa to be less strict at the command line:

    $ goa build --no-warn-strict

2. Placing a .goarc file in your project directory with the
    following line:

    set warn_strict 0

BTW, while investigating your question, I noticed a slight inconsistency 
in the documentation of Goa's configuration ('goa help config') that I 
fixed just now. So thanks for bringing up the topic.

Cheers
Norman
