Summary: Compiling with gcc for C++ exceptions.

Initial Comment:

It would be nice if when compiling with gcc, the 
flag "-fexceptions" was added so it can deal with C++ 
handlers that throw exceptions.  As it's now built by 
default, C++ programs will crash if they throw in the 
handler. Perhaps make "-fexceptions" the default so as 
to be most robust, and allow people to turn off the 
flag as a parameter to configure ("configure --no-
exceptions" or whatever).
