Excellent!  To handle dwarf eh, LLVM has an intrinsic to get hold of
an exception object (eh.exception) and an intrinsic for matching the
exception against a list of typeinfo objects (eh.selector).  These
get morphed into calls to the gcc unwinder lib by the code generator.
Can sj/lj follow a similar scheme?

Thanks,

Duncan.
