Judging by the compiler error, it appears that the standard library doesn't 
define std::exception at all when _HAS_EXCEPTIONS=0. Boost libraries do 
depend on std::exception as a base class for their own exception types even 
when exceptions are off, so its absence is likely to break a lot of things, 
not just <typeinfo>.
