Great library! Looks easy to use.

New features:
- finalizers
- call stack of errors as a separate table (not merged to a string)
- call stack from also lanes that throw an error

Reports on using this on Linux (32/64-bit), Windows, FreeBSD etc. are welcome.

2.0.3 has been tested on OS X PowerPC only. However, changes should not have anything to do with the OS, so most likely this continues to work on all supported systems.
