Comment(by brbarret_at_[hidden]):

 Yeah, that's a really good question.  To be honest, I don't plan on using
 program_options in my application.

 It is used somewhere in the default build of boost 1.35.0 (I have a hard
 time telling what exactly is being compiled when using bjam and didn't
 keep good notes on the subject, so I'm not sure whether it was in one of
 the libraries or the test cases.  I'd assume the test cases, given what
 program_options does).  The patch was mainly doing enough so that make all
 install would succeed when -fno-exceptions is used.
