Error codes revisited

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1


As promised, I've been looking over the error handling (especially 
the archived discussions) and it's a real rat's nest. :) I'm not 
sure where we should start, but just getting some error codes 
enabled and out there would be a great start. The protocol changes 
can come later. And the codes should not be part of the string.

What about a variable that allowed the codes to be switched on so a 
number is returned instead of a string? This would be off by default 
so as not to break existing applications. Similarly, we can return 
other information (FILE, LINE, etc.) with different variables. This 
should all be doable without a protocol change, as long as everything 
is returned as a string in a standard format.
