We've talked for a while about needing better error messages, links,  
more descriptions on the website, etc. How about we modify panic(),  
fatal(), and warn() to hash the format string for the message and  
print out a url with some portion of that hash.

So:
fatal("Parameter %s.%s was not specified")
would turn into:
Fatal: Parameter foo.bar was not specified
See http://www.m5sim.org/wiki/index.php/9c6d054cbec3

As people asked questions we could populate the hashes with answers in  
the wiki. (We could also use url re-writing to make the url a bit  
smaller).

Thoughts?
