I completely rebuilt wave from the scratch (VC7.1) and I'm now able to
cleanly preprocess the wave code itself. The warnings mentioned above occur
only when --variadics isn't specified, but I didn't investigate this
further. Just in case you're using VC7.1 here are my command line options:

-I.
-SC:\CVS\boost
-SC:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\VC7\INCLUDE
-D_WIN32
--long_long
--variadics
