Comment:

 Thanks for the patch however I am not applying it because most tests will
 fail on Borland anyway. The only tests that must pass on *all* compilers
 are the top 4 in the test matrix, numbered 1-4; these verify that Boost
 Exception is turned off on non-conformant compilers so that
 boost::throw_exception works.

 I will provide support to anyone wanting to produce and support a Borland
 implementation of Boost Exception. Personally, I gave up on Borland long
 time ago. :)
