You could do this - I don't think it require recompiling boost since the 
header isn't
(or at least shouldn't be) part of a compiled part of the library.

I'm not sure what the warning says.  But if you change the size of
count, you might have a problem.  Maybe you might just want to
cast the result of s.size to unsigned int.
