The Lua interface was a red herring; it's C++ exceptions that are not
working.

To reproduce:

cd nvm.lua-5.2-build_mingw
./mtn.exe --no-standard-rcfiles

Should get a "no command" error, with usage; instead get:

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

It's dying on monotone.cc:288

          if (cmd_id.empty())
            throw usage(commands::command_id());

This is compiled with mingw g++ 4.6.2; does that have problems?

I'll see if I can get an older g++ for mingw.

Anything else I should look at?
