#179 Undefined symbols when using PersistException class

[Erik Ch. Ohrnberger]

When building a program that uses the persistence
library (commoncpp2-1.1.1) and exceptions for the
persistence library, the following link time errors will
result:

undefined reference to `ost::PersistException::getString
() const'
undefined reference to
`ost::PersistException::~PersistException [not-in-
charge]()'

Two files need to be patched: persist.h and persist.cpp
to provide these two methods. Patch file fragments
provided below:
