[Coin-discuss] Re: [COIN-OR Open Solver Interface] #24: MSVSv8 compiler warnings

[Matthew Galati]

probably the easiest way to deal with this (and other MSVS warnings) is 
to add to CoinPragma.hpp -- then projects can include that header for 
MSVS builds

that is, if we are convinced these warnings are not important to deal 
with...

better yet, each project might want to create their own ProjPragma.hpp - 
then the proj manager can decide
