<p>This patch reverts the change to define <code>_HAS_EXCEPTIONS=0</code> for Dinkumware
std library. It has the undesired effect of changing the ABI. It&#8217;s better for
user code to handle the conbination of turning off exceptions while treating
warnings as errors, and getting warnings/errors from the std library by having
the users silence the warning themselves.</p>

<p>This patch also fixes the case of asking to initialize any msvc toolset
versions (<code>using msvc ;</code>) when there are already versions initialized. Instead
of erroring to say that a version is already in use, it considers the set
