What are you implying? FLTK 3 has bugs? How very dare you :-P

Hold on to your chairs and keyboards: Android does not support exceptions! Yes, 
*that* Android that runs on more phones than Apple's iOS!

Google developers decided that they wouldn't need exceptions in early 
development, so the did not compile them in. Now with the release of NDK r5 
they figure, ah, let's compile them in. But unfortunately that made r4 binaries 
incompatible with the r5 OS. Ooooops! So, no, Android does not support 
exceptions (unless ofcourse you are brave enough to recompile the SDK, which 
works, in a way, somewhat).

And yes, they did not support STL either (until recently (yes, I know, eternal 
sources offered STL for r4, but that is now incompatible to r5 native STL)).
