Introduced define VK_CPP_NO_EXCEPTIONS, to support calling vk-functions without throwing exceptions on error conditions. Now, depending on that define, some functions can return a struct containing the vk::Result and some generated value.

+# Exceptions and return types
+The wrapper functions will throw a ```std::system_error``` if the result of the wrapped function is not a success code.
+By defining ```VK_CPP_NO_EXCEPTIONS``` before include vk_cpp.hpp, this can be disabled.
+Depending on exceptions being enabled or disabled, the return type of some functions change.
+
+With exceptions enabled (the default) there are four different cases on the return types:
+* Just one possible success code
+* * no output value -> return type is ```void```
+* * one output value -> return type is T, which is the type of the output value
+* Multiple possible success codes
+* * no output value -> return type is ```vk::Result```
+* * one output value -> return type is a structure ```vk::ResultValue<T>``` with a member ```result``` of type ```vk::Result``` holding the actual result code, and a member ```value``` of type T, which is the type of the output value, holding that output value.
+
+With exceptions disabled, the return type of those wrapper functions where the wrapped function has just one possible success code is different:
+* no output value -> return type is ```vk::Result```
+* one output value -> return type is ```vk::ResultValue<T>```, as described above.
+
+Note: With exceptions disabled, it is the user's responsibility to check for errors!

 # Usage
 To start with the C++ version of the Vulkan API download header from GIT, put it in a vulkan subdirectory and add
 ```#include <vulkan/vk_cpp.h>``` to your source code.
