Thanks Zhengang for this patch - I've applied this.  I'd noticed the 
output of the suite had changed, but wasn't sure what the cause was.

Agreed - the output is much easier to read with this patch applied. 
However, I could see why duplicating the log to stderr might be useful 
in some cases.

Does anyone see value in this?  We could add an option that allows to 
user to enable logging to stderr.  Although, if we decide to do this, 
some of the tests will need to be cleaned up. Some tests are quite 
verbose, which might need to be pared down.

Thoughts?
