I guess if we did the print-stripping immediately after putting
in the 1.2 branch, that'll work okay.

There are logging packages which handle all this rather nicely.
But it seems kind-of a shame to put in Yet Another Dependancy
when there's a comprehensive logging package coming with Java 1.4.
Probably we should just live with this issue 'til then, and try
to clean up debugging output once it's finished with (and yes,
