I think so, yes. I would just use an #ifdef.

The problem with these macros (for me, at least) is that it's not clear 
what the actual error handling is supposed to be in case if exceptions 
are disabled. I mean, if you want the code to support the "no 
exceptions" case, you should design the interfaces with a different 
method of communicating failures, and simply removing try/catch/throw 
does not cut it.
