CFLAGS seems to be used for more than gcc, and -Wall seems to be
portable enough to be overriden only in a couple of cases.  It would
not be the same for those flags.

Also note that -Wdeclaration-after-statement is also mentionned in
SubmittingPatches, but I still think it is a better place in
CodingGuidelines, which contributers are most likely to use as a
checklist before publishing.
