Given that most of boost code is in headers, and thus is processed with
your own compilation, I don't think the distinction between 'theirs' and
'yours' is as clear as you make it sound.
In fact, one solution that has been discussed here before was to wrap all
boost code with pragma guards to disable the warning before boost code
is parsed, and re-enables them when the parser gets back to your code.

That, however, is quite intrusive and requires a lot of work.
