I just re-did the tests with Intel 7.1 (using my type_id.hpp patch) and they
all work except for crossmod_exception.py, as you expect.
At the moment I am thinking:

  - Mike's example tells us that we should be using BOOST_PYTHON_TYPE_ID_NAME

  - BOOST_PYTHON_TYPE_ID_NAME does not affect EH

Correct?

As an aside, I am also thinking that Intel 8.0 works for Mike's example because
it defines __GNUC__ which leads to BOOST_PYTHON_TYPE_ID_NAME being defined.
Does this make sense?
