I'd really rather see something like

 http://pub.ks-and-ks.ne.jp/prog/SysExits.shtml

packaged separately. To paraphrase Brendan O'Dea, the .ph files are an
abomination that should go away. They have been reduced to a minimum
on purpose.

The SysExits module above looks OK at first glance. There's no licensing
or copyright info in the tarball so some clarification is needed, but
the parent web pages say

so it's clearly intended to be free software.
