Hello together!

I just read that Borland's SEH patent has expired on 15th June 2014. :)

While I don't think that Borland would have gone after us (especially 
considering that it was Microsoft who first introduced the technique in 
their compilers) we now definitely don't need to "fear" any legal 
problems anymore regarding SEH on i386-win32. :)

Regards,
Sven
