This improves on the previous logic of just printing a generic statement that an unexpected exception was caught.
In case of errors, latex by default prompts the user and blocks on stdin. This is unsuitable for automatic building in a makefile. With nonstopmode, latex will exit with an error code if something goes wrong, but still output enough information to figure out why.
Trying to read the new v13 archive on boost-1.55 (which is the highest in Ubuntu 14.04 official repositories, and otherwise supported) resulted in 'unsupported version' error. Since boost::serialization is backwards-compatible, the newer versions can still read the old file. This commit effectively restores the serialized file as it was at 9fa1e6d
This adds a travis-ci configuration file, enabling automatic CI building, well integrated with GitHub. All required library dependencies are pulled from the official Ubuntu repositories, using the 14.04 "trusty" distribution. Note that this currently builds without QT_WEBENGINE support, because it is not (yet) available in Ubuntu or Debian. Travis' ccache integration is enabled to reduce build times as much as possible.

While working on the Debian packaging of ball, I (or rather,
my computer : ) spent quite a bit of time on building and
executing the unittests repeatedly, while bisecting for patches.
While ball has CI servers, their build results and logs are not public,
so I wrote up a travis-ci configuration file because it is so nicely
integrated with GitHub - in the hope that it might be useful the next
time around.
In the course of building current ball on the 14.04 'trusty' image I
had to make some small changes in order to get a clean compile,
or improve diagnostic output, these are on their own commits
to ease reviewing.
It would be nice if this work could be merged back into the main repository.
