If we are going to have an official boost policy for warnings we need a list of flags for each major compiler that we can all agree to.
Previous attempts to get agreement on this have not been very successful one man's meat proved another poison ;-) I concluded that every author had to do his own thing for his own warnings - but do his best to get rid of them 'locally' to his module without inflicting his choice on everyone. Not all compiler have this fine-grained enough mechanism, but then the info in the build info should allow users to add their own choice of 'not-useful' warnings. https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/Guidelines/MaintenanceGuidelines is a first go at this.
