All Boost libraries should work with exceptions disabled, with 
potentially limited functionality. If that is not the case, it's 
probably a library-specific bug that should be reported.

If exceptions are disabled, Boost will call 
boost::throw_exception(std::exception const&), which must be defined by 
the user.
