Thanks for the suggestion. It probably would be more convenient, but changing the autoconf defaults tends to cause unexpected problems so I prefer to stick with them. I'll add a note in the INSTALL file to make the -fexceptions option more prominent. Presumably most distributions should be adding this anyway. -- Brian Gough
