And there are some HOW-To suggestions on warnings at

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/Guidelines/MaintenanceGuidelines

at the end of the document.

Managing Warnings from Compilers (and other tools) 
Avoid warnings, Eliminate warning, Suppress Warnings, or Document. 

including copy'n'paste examples that may save you some time.
