After second thought, you are right. We (eg. me & my colleagues working 
on single large codebase that has nothing to do with boost except using 
it here and there) do apply such workarounds directly in the place of 
warning in our codebase, but we also have "advantage" of using only 
single compiler family (two versions of Visual C++).

Maintenance of such local worarounds in boost is going to be nightmare, 
therefore "prefix headers" and "postfix headers" are much more sensible 
solution
