   Already done, it's in excpt.h for mingw32, 
   (which should also work on cygwin32)
   somebody (that understands gcc ;) needs to turn
   the macro's into c language keywords.

Thanks for the pointer.

Unfortunately, the macros in that file don't do what we need.  They
don't handle the actual syntax which appears in C source files.  They
put the handler at try rather than except.  They don't handle
exception filters.

I believe this has to be handled by the compiler directly.

What the macros do is already documented in the cygwin32 exceptions.h
header file.

Ian
