Interest in fixing MSVC Level 4 warnings

Hi all,

First, I'd like to start off by saying thanks for your hard work on quantlib! This is my first post to a quantlib mailing list. I've recently developed an interest in mathematical finance and discovered quantlib over the holidays, which has only piqued my interest more.

As I'm still new to the codebase and most of the techniques that are used in the code, I'd like to give back in some other way and one of the ways I can do that is by looking into fixing some of the level 4 warnings for the Microsoft compilers. Because the warnings could appear anywhere and I don't want to cause any difficulties for other work, I wanted to check here to see if there was any interest in seeing these warnings fixed.

I'm not necessarily proposing fixing all of the warnings that I've seen in the code (QL_FAIL triggers C4127 "conditional expression is constant" because of the do { } while(false) macro guard, for example), but I do think it'd a good idea to look through the list and fix some of them. If a count of warnings would help, I can follow up with that soon.

Mike
