As they change I was going to made had the potential of creating many
new warnings I've decided to compile with -Werror before starting. Some
of the changes are the result of that step. Should have sent two
separate patches. Will split it.

Yup. Had a similiar impression, but don't know the code well enough to
do that. Creative usage of grep, sort -u and diff helped me to spot all
places you've mentioned initially.

This avoids some pre-processor magic in cairo-mutex-private.h, as I am
not a fan of excessive pre-processor magic. But still I know what to do,
so I can create an alternate patchset.
