Re: [boost] [also 1.33.1] VC8 deprecated library functions and impacton boost

FWIW - for the serialization library and tests I tweaked the relevent 
Jamfiles to include a command line switch to suppress these warnings.  I"m 
sure it would be easy for someone to include this in the toolset *.jam 
files.

Of course one would have to add an explanation in some rationale some where 
why boost does it this way - but I wouldn't think that would be a big 
problem
