Hi Daniel,

thank you very much for testing it. It's great that it works for you. 
Could you please tell me how you built boost? It seems you are using the 
i386 architecture. Is your boost build a universal build, i.e. will the 
programs run on PowerPC as well?

The problem for me is that I do not have a PowerPC based system, so I 
cannot build boost on a PowerPC and on an i386 system and copy them to a 
universal build - instead I need to compile both on the i386 system. The 
way I tried to do this, although as documented, seems to break the 
exception support. Maybe we can find a way to merge the way you are 
building boost with the additional options needed for a universal build.

Thanks again,

Lothar
