Re: [boost] Exception specifications in smart_ptr.hpp

I have updated the programming guidelines to make it clearer that 
exception-specifications should be avoided, and provided rationale taken 
from various emails in this thread.

In smart_ptr.hpp and associated docs, "throw()" has been replaced by "// 
never throws".  Explanation and a reference to the guidelines' 
exception-specification rationale was also added.

I am still dithering about adding BOOST_THROWS_NOTHING to config.hpp.  It 
seems like most uses turn out to be on inlined functions, and the 
discussion has convinced me these should have exception-specifications at 
all.
