SEH is an OS-provided facility and "__try/__except" is merely
(quite desirable) syntactic sugar coating of these by the MSVC
(and compliant) compilers - see the "Compiler-level SEH" section in:
http://www.microsoft.com/msj/0197/exception/exception.htm
In fact, had the following patch by Aldy Hernandez for adding
"__try/__finally" support to GCC been accepted, it would have caused
a *major* confusion for people already used to Win32 SEH:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2002-11/msg00239.html
As I remark in a separate post, it *should* be possible to
achieve what we need using SEH.
