Work-in-progress patch for pyspi

Here's the furthest I've got with this.  This patch successfully registers an
error handler with AT-SPI, and generates SPIException instances containing as
much data as I think we can scrape, and the data appears to be correct.  It's
still got lots of debug prints in it, because this stuff is hard to debug -
pyrex likes to eat exceptions :-)

Unfortunately, actually _raising_ these exceptions is awkward.  We can't raise
them from inside a pyrex callback, as pyrex simply throws these away (does
pyrex have a workaround for this???)  

So I've tried a couple of different ways of adding exception hooks around
places where exceptions could occur, storing the generated exception within a
global.  Ideally we'd do this automatically somehow, since there are numerous
places where problems could occur.

But so far I haven't got either approach to work.

So this is further along, but not yet working.
