Well, it turns out to be a bit big for attaching, so it's here:
http://starship.python.net/crew/mwh/hacks/new-style-exceptions-hacking.diff
This is very much a first cut; no attempt at subtlety. The procedure went roughly "Hack until it compiles, hack until it doesn't dump core immediately, hack until most tests pass."
The good news: all tests but test_pickletools pass (and that's doomed; just look at it).
Eh? test_pickletools is a three-line test, which just runs the doctests in pickletools.py. The only exceptions mentioned in the latter are the builtin ValueError and OverflowError. What's the problem?
