#1495: Warnings could be suppressed in Boost.Test

 I get some warnings that I believe really are from Boost.Test and that I
 suspect are unhelpful.

 i:\trunk\boost/test/impl/unit_test_main.ipp(91) : warning C4310: cast
 truncates constant value

 at
             case SFK_SUBSTR:
                 return name.find( m_value ) != const_string::npos;

 Or is this telling me something about my test values?

 i:\trunk\boost\test\impl\debug.ipp(908) : warning C4702: unreachable code
 i:\trunk\boost\test\impl\debug.ipp(909) : warning C4702: unreachable code
 i:\trunk\boost\test\impl\debug.ipp(911) : warning C4702: unreachable code

 I added to detail/ suppress_warnings.hpp

 # pragma warning(disable: 4310) // cast truncates constant value
 # pragma warning(disable: 4702) // unreachable code

 and they go away ;-)

 If you agree with this, they could usefully be added?
