PEP 352 implementation. Creates a new base class, BaseException, which has an
added message attribute compared to the previous version of Exception. It is
also a new-style class, making all exceptions now new-style. KeyboardInterrupt
and SystemExit inherit from BaseException directly. String exceptions now
raise DeprecationWarning.
Applies patch 1104669, and closes bugs 1012952 and 518846.
