There's one thing to keep in mind if the exceptions you mentioned are
C++ exceptions: node.js itself doesn't use them - and is in fact
compiled with -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions - so you need to catch any and
all exceptions that library code throws.  If you let one through,
node.js (or rather, the C++ runtime) will abort.

I didn't think of it yesterday, but if OpenNI throws an exception at
dlopen() time (e.g. from a static constructor), it's game over.  That
would be a moronic thing to do, though.  For one, you'd almost
certainly leave the dynamic linker in an undefined state.
