[svn] At work I was getting an unhelpful "No such file or directory" error when I
tried to extract an .exe. It turns out this was because I didn't have
cabextract installed. This inspired a few changes:

* BaseExtractor now raises an ExtractorUnusable error when this happens.
* Various points in the code deal with this properly.
* The loop for trying extractors will now report all the errors it got, if
extraction is unsuccessful, to better help you understand why.

Also snuck in a bug fix where things weren't being cleaned properly with a
half-extracted archive.

Also got my version number situation in order, in anticipation for the next
release, which may be a while yet but at least I won't have to worry about
it then.
