Martin,

It was faster going just to stderr, particularly on the initial commit.
There was a long debate on buffering of messages, if we should bother
and if we did, where to do it. That all got backed out because going to
stderr removed the need for it (performance wise) and no-one agreed with
me that it was correct semantically.

I'm going to look at commit again as part of 0.18 so I'll revisit the
whole logging & progress bar thing then. In fact, hopefully later today!

I like Aaron's idea of stopping note() logging to the file at all. Is
that an acceptable approach to have product wide?
