[PD] writing to log files

[B. Bogart]

Maybe a more complex "print" object could be handy, as in one that can
specify if the message goes to STDOUT, STDERR or the PD built-in console.

I still get console messages going to STDOUT on 0.38 on linux anyhow..
(SO I have both a terminal and the pd built-in console.

[print "name" stdout]

[print "name" stderr]

[print "name"] <- goes to built-in console.

On that note, I would really like a "clear console" to clear the damn
console, a real pain with 1000 lines in it.

then we could just start PD with something like:

pd -open patch.pd -nogui 2>/tmp/log

How could this be done with the .app on OSX other than running from
terminal the binary inside the .app...

.b.
