Just to speculate while not asking anyone to implement anything, would
there be any value in implementing special behavior when throwing
through non-dwarf2 code, such as checking for an SEH handler on the
stack, or use the MSVC unwinding routines (which MinGW has access to, I
beleive)?

Do any Windows system routines have any function local cleanup that
they'd need to do registered with SEH, or are they OK with suddenly
being zapped out of existance at user code call points?
