[boost] Exception handling - reprise

Hello,

There were some talks some time ago about introducing a new macro
(BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS or something) to completely disable any kind of
exception support from Boost (mainly due to performance issues on several
compilers). This macro might be defined from within the compiler config
headers where it's possible to autodetect if exceptions are disabled, or
specified manually by the user on command line whenever he needs it. I
certainly am not Boost-expert enough to do this, but I'd be grateful if
someone could work on it before 1.29.

Thanks
