/**
Error handling routines.

This file defines a number of global error handling routines:
Warning(), Error(), SysError() and Fatal(). They all take a
location string (where the error happened) and a printf style format
string plus vararg's. In the end these functions call an
errorhandler function. By default DefaultErrorHandler() is used.
