eh patch


The following patch has been applied to egcs as part of the effort to 
unify the exception handling interface (new/old/sjlj). No one should notice 
any difference (hopefully!), except the front end no longer needs to understand 
the flag  flag_new_exceptions as it use to.
  The front end mechanism for exception regions now looks something like:

  start_try_block ()
  start_catch_block ()
  for each handler in try block
    {
      start_catch_handler (type_match)
      end_catch_handler ();
    }
  end_catch_block ()

And its transparent whether a handler has its own entry in the exception
table (-fnew-exceptions), one handler contains compares and branch around code
for each run-time possibility (-fexceptions) or one handler and 
runtime compares using setjmp/longjmp (-fsjlj-exceptions).

If anyone experiences problems, let me know ASAP. 

Thanks
Andrew
