Outrageous shift exception

[GoogleCodeExporter]

gmpy 1.04:

>>> from gmpy import mpz
>>> mpz(1) << 10**20
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: Pympz_lshift outrageous shift count

Python 2.6:

>>> 1 << 10**20
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OverflowError: long int too large to convert to int

Python 3.0:

>>> 1 << 10**20
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C long

I think gmpy should raise an OverflowError here for compatibility. It could
copy the message from Python 3.0 too.

On second thought, the message in gmpy is fine. But the point about the 
exception
type stands.

Thanks for the bug report. I just committed a fix courtesy of free wifi at PDX 
airport.
