I also fixed some unused variables warnings in some libraries which
Geometry depends on.
I'm only waiting on uBlas to merge my PR, also with the msvc-12 error fix :/

To disable those unused typedefs warnings you can pass a parameter to the
compiler like this:

b2 cxxflags="-Wno-unused-local-typedefs"

When I switched to develop branch in the modular-boost and pulled, the
libs/core/ directory was created but was empty. AFAIR this helped:

git submodule init libs/core
cd libs/core
git checkout develop
git pull
