So lets add 'FATAL' to the already existing "use warnings" lines in
Catalog.pm and genbki.pl.
I think the other files we should add this to are generate-errcodes.pl,
generate-plerrorcodes.pl, generate-spiexceptions.pl, Gen_fmgrtab.pl.
Maybe psql/create_help.pl too.
We have a bunch of files in ECPG and MSVC areas and others in src/tools;
not sure about those.
We also have gen_qsort_tuple.pl which amusingly does not even
use warnings.
