I'm going to guess that most of the new warnings you see aren't level 4
warnings.  I'll also guess that the crept in for the same reason I missed
some VC warnings in Boost.Threads with 1.30.  That is to say, it happened
because I assumed Boost.Build was setting the warning level to an
appropriate default (i.e. the level that the IDE sets for new projects),
when in fact, it wasn't setting it at all.  I posted about this a while
ago.

If this isn't the cause, then you'll have to ask individual authors,
and/or submit patches.
