Thanks for the suggestion Andy. I remember having to look for bare
calls to 'throw' and replacing them with BOOST_THROW -- with the
intention that BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS would require users to provide
their own exception handler function. I hoped that these would be
sufficient, although I'm not sure whether you're looking for anything
more specific with regards to BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS.
