 It was reported that Xapian 1.0.14 failed to build in maintainer mode on
 Mac OS X with recent XCode toolchains because of a deprecation warning on
 a constructor; when building that constructor, the warning apparently is
 emitted differently by the XCode gcc build than other warnings, and due to
 maintainer mode is promoted to an error.

 Xapian's own deprecation warnings are unnecessary when building xapian-
 core itself, since then don't actually mean anything in that context.

 We should either disable deprecation warnings when building xapian-core
 (but obviously retain them when building *against* xapian-core), or have a
 reason why we aren't doing that. One possible reason is that disabling the
 warning makes it harder for us to detect internal use of deprecated
 methods and functions in future.
