   This class consists entirely of static error-reporting functions that are
   used throughout the MayDay implementation together with a version string.
   In the best of all possible worlds we'd use a namespace, but we aren't
   there, yet :-) Note that all the output functions add a terminating
   exclamation mark, so there is no need to add any punction to sentences
   that get output explicitly.
