I just got reminded of a breaking change in C++11 regarding this.  Destructors without any exception specification in C++11 get `noexcept(true)` added to them.  This means that pre-C++11 classes with throwing destructors turn into `std::terminate` bombs when imported to a C++11 project!

I have two^H^H^Hthree such classes in Boost, so I just reported myself.  (It's bug #9088, if you're curious.)  Any other maintainers as stu^H^H^Henlightened as me should review their classes and add `noexcept(false)` when compiling in C++11 mode.

If there are other libraries affected, maybe someone should make an en-masse bug ticket.
