Milestone:  Boost 1.41.0             |   Component:  serialization

 The MS header file excpt.h has a
 {{{
     #define exception_code _exception_code
 }}}
 which leads to problems if not consistently included.

 The bottom line is, that archive_exception.cpp needs to be compiled with
 exactly the same windows headers included (excpt.h gets included by
 windows.h) as any sources including archive_exception.hpp, which is
 generally not possible to ensure.

 The only fail-proof way I could see is to always have
 {{{
     #if defined(BOOST_WINDOWS)
     #include <excpt.h>
     #endif
 }}}
 inside archive_exception.hpp, globally mapping exception_code to
 _exception_code. Patch attached.
