/**
   A simple RuntimeException which wraps a deeper exception inside of it and
   prints it in a fashion similar to exceptions like InvocationTargetException.
   This exception is largely obviated by the 'cause' mechanism in Java 1.4
   Throwables -- but Java 1.3 doesn't have it and thus we need it.
