Feeling anally retentive today ;-)

I am trying to silence this warning.

As it is in MS code, there isn't much we can do about it - and I've no
reason suppose it is a meaningful warning.

For example (there are others) I find it running
boost_1_37_0\libs\algorithm\string\test

usinstances.cpp
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\INCLUDE\xstring(239) :
warning C4506: no definition
for inline function 'size_t std::char_traits<_Elem>::length(const _Elem *)'
        with
        [
            _Elem=unsigned short
        ]

In my jamfile.v2 project requirements I have added

       <toolset>msvc:<cxxflags>/wd4506 # NO definition for inline function
in MS Xstring).

But this does not silence it :-((

(I've also had trouble silencing some C4996 - unsafe checked iterators
warning - this might have a common cause).

Suggestions?  Thanks

Paul
