Comment:

 I've committed a change to trunk that uses boost::throw_exception in most
 cases. The only cases I haven't touched are where thread_interrupted is
 thrown at a cancellation point. Interruption relies on exceptions to work
 properly, and as Jonathan points out, thread_interruption should not be
 derived from std::exception (and so won't work with
 boost::throw_exception).

 I'm inclined to think that interruption should not be available with
 exceptions disabled, in which case this code can be masked with a #ifdef.h
