Boost shouldn't be concerned about how to handle uncaught exceptions 
(and only those you could possibly be talking about), as this is a 
business for end-users, who do in fact have some control over this, as 
I'm told.

(Don't let me get started on how angry I get each time I start a long 
command-line driven build on a remote windows machine, only to find out 
after a day the process got stuck in a displayed error dialog, visible 
on some machine in a distant data center on the other end of the planet...)
