I think this would be awesome !

Currently though clone_current_exception_msvc.cpp only has the offsets 
for cl 13.10 and 14.00, so I need the offset for 15.00 to use this.

Also I would not like to tamper with the boost sources before building, 
so if the new offset could be committed on the trunk (since it is only 
activated by the #define), that would be great. !

Thank you,
