If you look at the BH page on CRAN, there are a ton of "reverse linking 
to" packages, i.e. packages that are doing something like what you do. 
It would be worth looking at a few of those that don't generate those 
warnings (e.g. abcADM, ACEt, etc.) to see if they're using the same 
parts of Boost as you're using, and have found a way to avoid the warnings.
