    In Python, sys.exit() function can also take an object other
    than an integer.
    
    If an integer is given to the argument, Python exits with the return
    code of it.  If a non-integer argument is given, Python outputs it
    to stderr and exits with the return code of 1.
    
    That means,
    
        print >> sys.stderr, "Blah Blah"
        sys.exit(1)
    
    is equivalent to
    
        sys.exit("Blah Blah")
    
    The latter is a useful shorthand.
    
    Note:
    Some error messages in Buildman and Patman were output to stdout.
    But they should go to stderr.  They are also fixed by this commit.
    This is a nice side effect.
