Added class for catching C++ exceptions. When using libobjc2, you can catch C++ exceptions by writing @catch(CXXException *e). This will wrap the C++ exception in an Objective-C object and allow you to access it by sending a -thrownValue message to the object. This returns a pointer to the exception. For example, if the exception is an integer, you would retrieve it like this from Objective-C:

@catch(CXXException *e)
{
	int i = *(int*)[e thrownValue];
}

In ObjC++, you can also make sure that it really is an int, by doing:

assert(typeid(int) == *(std::type_info*)[e cxx_type_info]);

These interfaces are experimental and subject to change without notice.
