     The Dune-exceptions are designed to allow a simple derivation of subclasses
     and to accept a text written in the '<<' syntax.

     Example of usage:

     \code
     #include <dune/common/exceptions.hh>

     ...

     class FileNotFoundError : public Dune::IOError {};

     ...

     void fileopen (std::string name) {
     std::ifstream file;

     file.open(name.c_str());

     if (file == 0)
      DUNE_THROW(FileNotFoundError, "File " << name << " not found!");

     ...

     file.close();
     }

     ...

     int main () {
     try {
      ...
     } catch (Dune::IOError &e) {
      std::cerr << "I/O error: " << e << std::endl;
      return 1;
     } catch (Dune::Exception &e) {
      std::cerr << "Generic Dune error: " << e << std::endl;
      return 2;
     }
     }
     \endcode

     \brief Base class for Dune-Exceptions

     all Dune exceptions are derived from this class via trivial subclassing:

     You should not \c throw a Dune::Exception directly but use the macro
     DUNE_THROW() instead which fills the message-buffer of the exception
     in a standard way and features a way to pass the result in the
     operator<<-style

     The user can add a functor which should be called before a Dune::Exception is emitted.


     Example: attach a debugger to the process, if an exception is thrown
     \code
     struct ExceptionHookDebugger : public Dune::ExceptionHook
     {
      char * process_;
      char * debugger_;

              argv[0] = debugger_;
              argv[1] = process_;
              argv[2] = new char[12];
              snprintf(argv[2], 12, "%i", int(pid));
              argv[3] = 0;
              // execute debugger
              std::cout << process_ << "\n";
              std::cout << argv[0] << " "
                        << argv[1] << " "
                        << argv[2] << std::endl;
              execv(argv[0], argv);
          }
          else // parent
          {
              // send application to sleep
              kill(pid, SIGSTOP);
          }
      }
     };
     \endcode

     This hook is registered via a static method of Dune::Exception:
     \code
     int main(int argc, char** argv) {
      Dune::MPIHelper & mpihelper = Dune::MPIHelper::instance(argc,argv);
      ExceptionHookDebugger debugger(argc, argv, "/usr/bin/ddd");
      Dune::Exception::registerHook(& debugger);
      try
      {
          ...
      }
      catch (std::string & s) {
          std::cout << mpihelper.rank() << ": ERROR: " << s << std::endl;
      }
      catch (Dune::Exception & e) {
          std::cout << mpihelper.rank() << ": DUNE ERROR: " << e.what() << std::endl;
      }
     }
     \endcode
