Comment (by marshall):

 Ok. I looked at these warnings, and they are all bogus.
 For example, in int_adapter.hpp, we have:
 {{{
 72:    switch (sv) {
 73:      case not_a_date_time: return not_a_number();
 74:      case neg_infin:       return neg_infinity();
 75:      case pos_infin:       return pos_infinity();
 76:      case max_date_time:   return (max)();
 77:      case min_date_time:   return (min)();
 78:      default:              return not_a_number();
 79:    }
 }}}

 which (apparently) gives an error of:
 `C:\Program Files\C++\Boost\boost\date_time\int_adapter.hpp|75|warning:
 enumeration value 'not_special' not handled in switch [-Wswitch-enum]|`

 That's absurd. `not_special` is definitely handled here; it's spelled
 `default`.

 conversion.hpp(33) - this problem.[[BR]]
 int_adapter.hpp(75) - this problem.[[BR]]
 time_system_counted.hpp(149) - this problem.[[BR]]

 I suggest that you turn off this warning and report it as a bug against
 gcc.
