Comment(by anonymous):

 I forgot one other requirement: we should maybe try and put together a
 small test case to check that this all works.

 Good to hear that libstdc++ already does the necessary work, does this
 mean that exceptions that inherit from std::runtime_error (as I think all
 Boost exceptions do?) are automatically visable and don't need re-
 exporting on account of their virtual functions?

 Oops, one other thing (sorry!), how if at all is Boost.Exception effected
 by this - especially as it's header only?

 Cheers, John.
