Thanks a lot;  that massively helps debugging (as you can at least see =
what=92s going on).   Eventually we might want to make that dependent on =
environment variables maybe?

For example on the Mac I have been using this for a while to see kernel =
boot messages:

% sudo nvram boot-args
boot-args	-v

But I am not entirely confident with variable naming or sharing on =
dual-boot machines yet.  It seems the new world order has quite a bit to =
discover (research) still ;-)
