I think it's a good idea.  In my experience, any serious program that
wants to handle signals and exceptions on Windows cannot avoid
supporting a large number of important EXCEPTION_* exceptions, because
unlike on Posix platforms, most of them are not translated into SIG*
style signals, at least in native Windows programs (as opposed to
Cygwin).
