I use the Catch() and Throw() functions in a Windows game that I'm about
to release.  They work great, as long as you remember, of course, that
you can't Throw() into a deeper stack level than where you're at.  In other
words, you can always Throw() to WinMain(), but if you're in WinMain(), you
can't Throw() to any other function.
