DetectDoubleDispose and exceptions in constructors

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The DetectDoubleDispose feature of SlimDX prevents applications from
catching exceptions thrown from SlimDX constructors.

For example: Try to create a VolumeTexture that is too large for video
memory and catch Direct3D9Exception.

Observed behaviour:
1. The constructor of VolumeTexture is aborted before calling Construct
2. The resources base destructor of ComObject is called
3. A false positive "double dispose" is detected because of 1.
4. An ObjectDisposedException is thrown
5. My catch block is not invoked (because the original exception is dropped?)

Expected behaviour:
1. The constructor is aborted.
2. No ObjectDisposedException is thrown
3. My catch block is invoked.

The same problem also exists with other throwing constructors, e.g.
Direct3D9Ex() which throws Direct3D9Exception on Windows XP).
