Does gcc have some C exception handling of its own? If not then we may be able 
to add that. gcc is pretty well tweakable, although it takes a lot of time to 
figure things out for the first time.

If you'd have any more pointers to specific information, that would help me 
out immensely. The diffs that you have would help me out for sure.

Is the MSVC x64 ABI documented somewhere? I didn't have time to wade through 
MSDN in search of that yet . . .
