In adding extensions, I wanted to make use of the standard X error
handling (and reporting) and only provide extension error text by
providing a routine which is defined by XESetErrorString. However,
to do this I had to change _XPrintDefaultError (in XlibInt.c) to 
print the minor opcode and to return 0 (since the extension errors
are non-terminal). Is there an alternative which doesn't require
changing core routines (or doing all error handling/reporting in the
extension).
