A build that I used with some success, that is until epic levels were 'Fortification' items become Standard.

1: Rogue
2: Swashbuckler
3: Rogue
4: Swashbuckler
5: Rogue
6: Swashbuckler
7: Dread Pirate
8: Scarlet Corsair
9+ more Scarlet Corsair. Add ending Dread Pirate to taste.

you end at +19 bab, 8d6 sneak, tons of free feats, and lots of great swashbuckly/piratey abilities. I love it.

Seeten: Yeah, one of my favorites, but I'm not familiar with Scarlet Corsair, could you sum up the class a bit for me?

The Bloodstorm Blade prestige class from Tome of Battle is great for thrown weapons. It gives you auto-returning, the ability to power attack with thrown weapons, and some nifty high level tricks that allow you to hit lots of opponents at once. Here's a sample build for fifteenth level:

Human                                                        Feats
Fighter 1:                                                   Point Blank Shot, Weapon Focus (Dagger), Precise Shot
Fighter 2:                                                   Rapid Shot
Fighter 2/Warblade 1:                                        Quick Draw
Fighter 2/Warblade 2:                        
Fighter 2/Warblade 3:                                        Ranged Disarm
Fighter 2/Warblade 3/Bloodstorm Blade 1:                     Throw Anything
Fighter 2/Warblade 3/Bloodstorm Blade 2:
Fighter 2/Warblade 3/Bloodstorm Blade 3:                     Power Attack
Fighter 2/Warblade 3/Bloodstorm Blade 4:
Fighter 2/Warblade 3/Bloodstorm Blade 4/Master Thrower 1:
Fighter 2/Warblade 3/Bloodstorm Blade 4/Master Thrower 2:    Weapon Specialization (Daggers)
Fighter 2/Warblade 3/Bloodstorm Blade 4/Master Thrower 3:
Fighter 2/Warblade 3/Bloodstorm Blade 4/Master Thrower 4:
Fighter 2/Warblade 3/Bloodstorm Blade 4/Master Thrower 5:    Improved Critical (Daggers)

Though it's just thrown together, with that you get four touch attacks per round (if you pick up Weak Spot from Master Thrower) and you can power attack with them. Also, your thrown weapons return as a free action, so you only need to carry one, and if you don't happen to find magic daggers Weapon Aptitude from the Bloodstorm Blade lets you change what weapon they apply to and Throw Anything (also from Bloodstorm Blade) lets you throw any weapon.
