// Change log:
// June 20, 2001: ported by Nick Thurn to gcc 2.95.3. Kudos, Nick!!!
// May 08, 2002: replaced const_iterator with iterator so that self-modifying
//      ProductCreators are supported. Also, added a throw() spec to what().
//      Credit due to Jason Fischl.
// Oct 24, 2002: ported to MSVC 6 by Benjamin Kaufmann.
//				 Note: The default error policy is no longer a template-class.
