Also, If you (Robert) would reverse your decision from 2009 and just let
boost::serialization::throw_exception == boost::throw_exception rather than
being a copy of the 2002-2009 version, then you won't have to think about
these config things - the upstream library does it for you!

It seems a bit glasshouses to tell a Boost.JSON to depend Boost.Sprit when
you yourself won't accept even this relatively trivial dependency on
Boost.ThrowException :-)
