this is really not different then something like log4j that puts the 
whole class name into the stream.  Nothing I know of depends on the 
System.out string being there so we could shorten it.  The redirect are 
necessary to put things on console windows instead of the sometimes 
unfindable system console.  We ran into this when running from a bat 
file users couldnt give us bug reports.
