Comment (by Ethan Tira-Thompson <ejt@…>):

 Also, I'm not confident about the current visibility settings in
 exception.  Will there be further linkage issues for other projects which
 use different features of boost?

 Perhaps the visibility pragmas should be wrapped around the all of the
 header contents for exception.hpp and exception_ptr.hpp as Mark suggested
 to ensure this isn't an ongoing issue.  (This doesn't look to be an
 excessive amount of additional visible symbols, worth the margin of
 safety?)
