3646	Boost.test build of libraries - warnings ttat could be silenced.	Paul A. Bristow	Gennadiy Rozental	"A few more warnings in Boost.Test could be silenced - to get to the zero warnings nirvana state ;-)

I am also a bit concerned about:

wd4671 # the copy constructor is inaccessible.

wd4673 # A throw object cannot be handled in the catch block.

which look a bit as though they really ought to be fixed?

(or why not documented 'why not' a bit more fully?)

But a jamfile including this produced a clear build for me starting with 1.41.0
