Comment (by gromer@…):

 I don't see how this can break automatic slot disconnection. The
 presumption is that `boost::throw_exception` either throws an exception
 (no change from the current code) or terminates the program (which makes
 slot disconnection a moot point).

 Many large codebases are built without exceptions; whether or not Boost is
 required to support them, it's a major deficiency for it not to. Why not
 just take the fix, when it's so trivial?
