Middleware Loader swallows useful stacktraces

Description

This try/except block:

https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/core/handlers/base.py#L44

Swallows stacktraces that can help us track down problems. Simply outputting the error raised doesn't really explain what's going on... in our case it was an ImportError caused by a circular import, we had to comment out the try/except to expose it[1].

Not sure what a good way is to fix this, but I thought I'd at the very least mention it.

Maybe just letting the ImportError uncatched? What is the value added by the encapsulation in a ImproperlyConfigured exception?
