I don't interpret it this way. IMO, if BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS is defined, Boost
libraries throwing exceptions or using try-catch will just not be supported,
which is quite different. 
What I mean, is that this is not a library bug but a feature.

Could you point where it is written that Boost Libraries must not throw
exceptions when BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS is defined?

Best,
Vicente
