Summary: TclError is a str should be an Exception

Initial Comment:
Since string exceptions are deprecated, it seems that
TclError (in _tkinter.c) should be changed to derive
from Exception.

It isn't apparent to me how to accomplish this.  If
someone can provide a quick high-level description, I
can make a patch.

Try makeclass() in Python/exceptions.c -- the file also 
shows how all the built-in exceptions get created.
