Hi

This is also the point to which we got with Gennadiy. Since we cannot be 
sure, we did not made any change until we can create appropriate tests 
for these kind of exceptions.

The _set_se_translator definitely needs /EHa, but MSVC 1310 is Visual 
2003 sp1, and I believe that there is no test agent for that compiler 
anymore.

The MSDN documentation 
(https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1deeycx5.aspx) states that 
managed code needs /EHa. This is a valid use of boost.test.
To my understanding it also means that removing this option would break 
the currently existing test using managed code to work properly with the 
boost.test that is built out of the box.
