The only think which has really changes has been the abadoned usage
of exceptions - and this has been only for practical reason -
various versions of gcc either aborts() or leak memory - this makes
the whole point of the usage of expections completely meaningless
as you basicaly could never know what actually will happen whenver
you throw exception.
(and thanks goes to GCC developers :) for clearing this out...)
If there are some simple stupid 'compatible' problem - please report
them - I'm trying to keep things compatible for 0.7 version.
