Summary: TclError not a subclass of StandardError

Initial Comment:
Tkinter.TclError = _tkinter.TclError should be a subclass of 
StandardError, instead of just Exception.

This would allow easier error checking, e.g. GUI code that doesn't 
want to catch SystemExit or Warnings, e.g.:
try:
   some mixed Tkinter and normal python code
except StandardError:
   bail out gracefully
