Correct.

When uscan faces "die" situation, it calls "uscan_die" and create
<errors> tag data.  When uscan faces "warn" situation, it calls
"uscan_warn" and create <warnings> data.  Most watch file parsing errors
are "warn" situation since uscan may be looping ober multiple watch file
which is better to be continued.

After my recent code review, I found a few unwrapped "die" and "warn" in
the code.  They are fixed now so all <errors> and <warnings> are
properly generated for all cases with the next upload.

Regards,

Osamu
