A small piece of Boost Exception is integrated in
boost::throw_exception, so any Boost library that throws exceptions
introduces this dependency by default.

To disable the Boost Exception integration in boost::throw_exception,
#define BOOST_EXCEPTION_DISABLE. Because Boost Exception requires
RTTI, #defining BOOST_NO_TYPEID has the same effect.
