helpful info

defining BOOST_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC will ouput those kinds of messages: it's not
on by default because they get pretty anoying after a while - remember every
translation unit that includes that header will produce those messages.

#pragma message is Microsoft/Borland specific, so there's not much point in
trying to use it to warn for other compilers :-(
