Yeah.  Having thought about it though, this is really a special case.
Cleanups don't throw or catch exceptions, so they are agnostic to the
exception type.  Also cleanups aren't used by gcj anywhere other from
synchronization.  The c++ frontend doesn't distinguish JvSynchronize
from other c++ classes because it's not a java class.  So it applies the
usual cleanup rules.

As strange as it would be to see the std namespace creeping into libjava,
it hardly seems worthwhile to change anything else.  Though I didn't see
std::terminate mentioned in Zack's message, so I ought to consider what's
different in the new EH.
