Why not catch all exceptions in main, display them as appropriate, and 
then rethrow:

void main( char[][] args ) {
     try {
         ...
     }
     catch( Exception e ) {
         // display dialog
         throw e;
     }
     catch( Object o ) {
         // display dialog
     }
}

Passing exceptions completely through the runtime would be a bit weird, 
as by the time the exception reached WinMain module dtors would have 
been called, the GC would have been terminated, etc.
