I'm really happy that you Emil, the author of the Exception library takes 
this responsability.

BTW, I have updated the boost/exception directory and I'm unable to find 
current_exception, neither rethrow_exception.

I supose that there has been a issue with the SVN repository. The 
clonning.hpp is not anymore there.

enable_current_exception.hpp
enable_error_info.hpp
error_info.hpp
exception.hpp
info.hpp
info_tuple.hpp
to_string.hpp
to_string_stub.hpp

Have I missed something?
