I checked with Greg Comeau before disabling it. It definitely has problems. 
Fixing them is relatively high on his priority list, but no promises were 
made.

BOOST_DISABLE_WIN32 is used to disable all references to the Win32 API, not 
just structured exceptions. So it would be the wrong macro to use since 
Comeau does work with the bulk of that API.
