Strange, I was not seeing those warnings.

The original intent was (and still is) to allow training a spam/ham
backend directly from the files, rather than through the less
efficient parameter passing.  It's not useful yet, however, so I
commented the code out for the time being.  It will come back when I
put a bunch of other things in place, and I'll keep in mind your issue
with nnml symbols.
