The rationale is that boost/throw_exception.hpp started off at least as 
a workaround for compilers with exception handling turned off (and is 
still required for such), the fact that it pulls in one header from 
Boost.Exception as well is a side effect, but a not-unhappy one in that 
it stops endless "why do I need to depend on Boost.Exception" 
discussions, if that one header shift to Config.
