I've just committed changes to the Boost Exception cloning support to
make it N2179-complient. The implementation of current_exception() is
similar to http://www.pdimov.com/cpp/N2179/exception_ptr.cpp.

I will update the Boost Exception documentation soon.

Antony, I would also like to incorporate your MSVC-specific support
into Boost Exception. Without such compiler-specific support, for
current_exception() to fully work, the user must call
enable_current_exception() (which is part of Boost Exception) at the
time of the throw. The plan is to make this call automatic directly in
boost::throw_exception() (I will commit that change to
boost/throw_exception.hpp as soon as I see the relevant Boost
Exception tests pass on all supported platforms.)
