+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_COMPILER_FLAGS_CFLAGS([VARIABLE], [IS-RELEASE], [EXTRA-BASE-FLAGS], [EXTRA-YES-FLAGS])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   Add warning flags for the C compiler to VARIABLE, which defaults to
+#   WARN_CFLAGS.  VARIABLE is AC_SUBST-ed by this macro, but must be
+#   manually added to the CFLAGS variable for each target in the code base.
+#
+#   This macro depends on the environment set up by AX_COMPILER_FLAGS.
+#   Specifically, it uses the value of $ax_enable_compile_warnings to decide
+#   which flags to enable.
