Nothing good, obviously :-(
Ignore my patch, we should make a better one.

We probably should create a table of what declarations work with what
compilers.

                   No declaration   stdlib.h   Simple   Using throw
egcs-1.1.2             Ok              Ok        Ok         Ok
gcc-2.95.2             Ok              Ok        Ok         Ok
gcc-2.97               Ok              Ok       Not Ok      Ok

Can anybody continue? How about commercial compilers?

If there is a declaration that always works we should stick with it.
Otherwise we should check what declaration if preferred for the given
compiler and use it.
