[Boost-users] Try and catch

Heya,

I'm working on a product for a very limited platform and I'd prefer to 
have as few "extra" C++-features enabled as possible. Specifically, I'd 
prefer not to have exceptions enabled, because I have no use for them 
right now. It's nice that the boost library comes with the 
BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS-option, but when the compiler (Metroworks 
CodeWarrior) reaches any try/catch-blocks that for some reason still 
linger in the code even with the option enabled, I get an error. Right 
now I'm only having trouble with the boost::function library, but after 
a quick search I know that there are quite a few try/catch-blocks in the 
source...

So, is there any way (preferably besides manually editing the headers) 
to bypass the blocks? I've looked at hacks such as using the 
preprocessor to redefine the try and catch keywords, but I can't get it 
through catch (...)-statements. Shouldn't BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS remove 
_all_ the code that has to do with exception handling?
