Hi,

IMHO, the least thing to do is post a minimal but compiling c++ sample 
which shows all the warnings. In addition, you should name the version 
of boost you are using.

Even better:
You look at the offending library code and if you're convinced that all 
those warnings are justified, you should file a bug.

Even better still:
You look at the offending library code and try to figure out a valid 
solution which gets rid of the warnings. If you're convinced you have 
found such a solution, file a patch.

The latter two options might not make much sense unless you're using the 
latest version of boost, of course.

Roland
