 The following program fails to compile:

 --snip
 #define BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS

 #include <boost/thread/mutex.hpp>

 int foo;

 int
 fn(boost::mutex& pMutex) {
     boost::mutex::scoped_lock lock(pMutex);
     return foo;
 }

 --snip

 It fails:

 # g++ -fno-exceptions -I/home/andyc/work/3rdParty/boost_1_39_0 -c -o
 test.o test.cpp
 In file included from
 /home/andyc/work/3rdParty/boost_1_39_0/boost/thread/mutex.hpp:16,
                  from test.cpp:3:
 /home/andyc/work/3rdParty/boost_1_39_0/boost/thread/pthread/mutex.hpp: In
 constructor ?boost::mutex::mutex()?:
 /home/andyc/work/3rdParty/boost_1_39_0/boost/thread/pthread/mutex.hpp:40:
 error: exception handling disabled, use -fexceptions to enable

 There are other exceptions in boost/thread/locks.hpp that aren't
 surrounded by #ifndef BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS too. I've attached a patch to
 fix those.
