  Hmmm... I do not think I explained myself clearly enough the last
time. :-)

  If you look at the header files I sent you they already have platform
detection guards in them. And the whole point of those headers is to
have them and only them contain the platform detection and the
necessary pragmas. After that you just use those BoostWrappers
headers instead of the original ones from boost. That means that you
add NO EXTRA LINES to any of your own hundred header/source
files. :-)

  I also told you that we at first had the same fears as you, but as it 
turns
out actually very few boost libraries cause warnings and so there are
actually very few of those BoostWrappers headers. Look the archive
I attached in the last message - there are less maybe 10-20 files in there
and their contents is very stable. Adding new ones is rare and when it
does happen it happens natually - compiling your other code tells you
directly which warnings to disable and in which header files.

  Hope this clears things up... :-)
