I was able to get rid of the errors and the warnings (see attached 
patches). In my eyes, the warnings show a compiler error, but anyway, 
they can be removed by using boost::mpl.

With the patches applied, Chrono now compiles without warnings on my system.

I am still not sure whether or not I can safely use the files from the 
chrono.zip which belong to other libraries, especially Boost.Thread.
