There are a few warning conditions in Visual C++ 7.1 that were removed
in later versions. I think their removal is a good indication of their
worth (the ones I've come across were certainly buggy). They should
probably just be suppressed with something like the following.

#if defined(BOOST_MSVC)
#pragma warning(push)
#if BOOST_MSVC < 1400
#pragma warning(disable:4244)
#endif
#endif

// ....

#if defined(BOOST_MSVC)
#pragma warning(pop)
#endif
