Hi Paul,

How the eCos uSTL port can live "without" C++ exceptions handling is
described in eCos documentation

Chapter 9. uSTL library overview ->  eCos specific changes/enhancements
http://www.ecos.sourceware.org/docs-latest/ref/ustl-overview.html

Well, it can make you write exceptions-less code, but, it is not evil,
google for "Cleaner, more elegant, and harder to recognize" article.
