So then there are two options given the two major toolsets:
* Change the code to quiet it (along the lines of BOOST_WARNING_XXX
macros) or fix it if it is a real warning
* Add a warning flag when compiling the specific file
If the first option isn't feasible for a given warning, then the second
one may apply as a last resort.
And there is still the option of ignoring the warnings, but Boost is a
harder sell if it cannot compile without warnings. That's been my
experience.
