[Zope] error messages and patches

[John Eikenberry]

Just noticed that it looks like the Not Found error has been changed to
use standard_error_message in Zope 2.1.0. As is implied in this collector
entry:

http://classic.zope.org:8080/Collector/796/view

It doesn't say whether it works for Unauthorized though. Though from a
quick test on the Zope site (which I understand is using the latest CVS
version...), I would guess not.

Just wanted to head off the obvious pointers to this new feature. ;)
