I have, but that doesn't mean 100% that I'm right, especially with 
exotic threading libraries.  So discussion on this may still be 
appropriate.

If we start out, however, with a generic exception type (possibly 
with error strings translated from native error codes) it should not 
break existing code if we find we must expose the native error code 
on this exception later.  So I still think this is the direction we 
should go.
