[zypp-devel] Improve error reports by creating an error stack?

At various locations we catch exceptions and translate them into other 
exceptions.

Would it be helpfull, if we'd create a simple stack of error strings in 
class Exception? So we could store and propagate the old Exceptions 
asString and/or asUserString.

Something like this:

          Failed to create repository.
          -Reason: Failed to parse some file
          -Reason: Failed to provide some file
          -Reason: File not found 


But it's only worth the efford, if the UI is willing to display such 
multiline stacklike error messages.
