No you don't want to do that: the macro has to be set on the command line 
before any headers are included and we can't guarentee that in general.  In 
any case the user may *want* to see that warning in his code, just not in 
Boost code :-/  So pragma's are probably the only way to go (but even those 
are less than ideal for complex reasons).
