Compiz fails to build GCC-4.7 - [-Werror=conversion-null] cc1plus: all warnings being treated as errors

[triplesqaurednine]

Another GCC-4.7 build error;

very similar to my other bug report about 'warnings being treated as errors';

https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz-core/+bug/972519

Same story - it is very easy to fix, simply add the CXXFLAG;

-Wno-error=conversion-null

which will in turn tell GCC-4.7 to treat this as a warning and to continue with the build.

I use global flags in my build script, so it is possible that other branches could be affected, but i don't know this off-hand.
