Summary: Structured Exception Handling broken

Initial Comment:
Although the following compiles cleanly, it doesn't 
work.

#include <windows.h>

int WINAPI
WinMain (HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, 
PSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
    int a, b = 0;

    __try {
	a = 666 / b;  /* divide by zero */
    }
    __except (EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER) {
	MessageBox(0, "went boom and caught", "", 
MB_OK);
    }
    return 0;
}

This is not really a bug.   It is a compiler feature that 
has never been implemented in GCC. I believe that members 
of the ReactOs team are working on patches to GCC to allow 
SEH.  Perhaps you could check on their progess and find out 
what help they need.
