I understand that some C++ compilers support exceptions (e.g., throw 
and try...catch statements) through the use of macros, which do the 
appropriate setjmp/lngjmp stuff that needs to be done.

gcc 2.6.3 promptly informs me that "sorry, not implemented: exception 
handling not supported" whenever I use a catch, throw, or try keyword.  
Are there some macro facilities available that will allow me to use 
C++ exceptions until (if ever) they get supported in gcc, and 
consequently ported to DJGCC?

Thanks -- I'm really anxious to do some work with exceptions with gcc.  
Any help is appreciated.
