Yep, it was intentional. As Nicolas points out, the error message is
often copied-and-pasted, and the source code is indexable via Gitorious.
The change for BASE_DIR is great though. If you remove the obfuscation I
will accept the patch.

I hate people reporting errors. I should actually change that whole
thing to suggest they to send a bugfix patch.
