[C++-sig] Custom exceptions

[Gavin Doughtie]

Just a note -- I did in fact realize that this is what the "scope" 
function is for. Now I'm writing a templated exception generator class 
for my custom exceptions. Once that's working (i.e. once I fix my 
boost::bind calls to not crash gcc 2.96) I'll post it.
