Sure - thanks.

Devrim; I was thinking of adding this to pkg/redhat, and leaving
installation up to the RPM (ie. Not installed by 'make install' because
it won't know what is or isn't an appropriate platform) - does that seem
reasonable to you?

A command line option to specify a logfile to use instead of stdout
would work, as might simply fflush()'ing stdout.

Care to work up a patch? :-)
