Only because it is normally used locally does not mean that you MUST use 
it locally... you can put it at the top of your unit as well, but this 
means that ALL deprecated messages will not be shown for that unit.

Alternatively you can also use the "-vmMSGID[,MSGID[,...]]" option which 
allows you to mute a message on the command line (this option is 
supported by Lazarus btw.).

In the particular case you'd pass -vm5066,5043 to the compiler to mute 
both kinds of deprecated messages (of course this has the same drawback 
as putting the $warn directive at the top of the unit).

There are no other possibilities to hide the message.
