Description
Add session option that lets the user choose whether log output is written to stderr (default) or stdout.
The reason for this is that stderr output appears in the Eclipse console view as red text by default (though customizable via a preference). Some users apparently find this confusing and want black text (stdout) instead, without having to modify preferences.
