Sendmail 8.12 uses also exception mecanism.
On it's implementation 'try' uses setjmp()

Sure a try/except mechanism is doable in plain C. Wine already has such a plain-C-mechanism in include/wine/exception.h. The problem is to make it compatible with both Win32 SEH (which is different from setjmp/longjmp) *and* MSVC-style __except(expr) syntax; the macros in include/wine/exception.h, while complicated enough in their attempt to fit setjmp/longjmp into SEH, only manage to implement one of them.
