How do I write an exception filter?

Yes, like I said, MSVC has special compiler support. In MSVC, __try, 
__except, etc, are compiler builtins (not macros as in Wine). But they 
are Microsoft extensions, they can't be implemented using standard C.

Well, I'd expect it to be generally better to just have the appropriate 
exception raised in the first place, rather than conditionally handle it 
depending on something unrelated to the exception information.
