Added the ability to toggle where error messages go. They either go to the user (default, for backwards compatibility), the dispatcher, or both. These are able to be toggled via settings in config.py. Please refer to upgrading.txt for more details. (And Richard, let me know if I've done anything wrong with this checkin. :))

Debugging Flags
---------------

Roundup uses a number of debugging environment variables to help you
figure out what the heck it's doing. 

HYPERDBDEBUG 
============

This environment variable should be set to a filename - the hyperdb will
write debugging information for various events (including, for instance,
the SQL used).

This is only obeyed when python is _not_ running in -O mode. 

HYPERDBTRACE
============

This environment variable should be set to a filename - the hyperdb will
write a timestamp entry for various events. This appears to be suffering
rather extreme bit-rot and may go away soon.

This is only obeyed when python is _not_ running in -O mode. 

SENDMAILDEBUG
=============

Set to a filename and roundup will write a copy of each email message
that it sends to that file. This environment variable is independent of
the python -O flag.
