Well, that was a radical surgery :) Even though SteveC won't be
excited about it, it looks we now have a relatively clear and
straight code base there. It also seems that Err.pm is now
superfluous, so we may want to deprecate it.

We should also build a test for $obj->throw(), that it really
prints a meaningful stack trace. In addition, there should be a
test demonstrating that $obj->verbose(2) really turns warn() into
throw().
