[C++-SIG] C++ Framework

[Paul F. Dubois]

I'm about done with my CXX_Objects.h and CXX_Exceptions.h, which are
(incompatible) replacements for the two similarly-named (experimental)
PyXX_...hh files currently in the LLNL distribution. I called them something
new so that I wouldn't bother Geoff's work.  I'll try to get them out on our
site next week.

I sent out some of it for comment the other day and didn't get any. My stuff
does work with MSVC++. I'm developing under it to make sure, in fact.
Geoff's existing stuff won't work with MSVC, I'm sure.
