Log console ouput to file

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be very handy if it was possible to log the console output to a
file (similar to Putty)

In PuTTY logging is useful for remote or serial connections, but I think with a 
local
terminal the 'tee' utility and the scrollback (which btw is hold up to 16k 
lines)
provide sufficient logging capability.

Actually I did implement this in the end, as the --log option. Turns out 
there's a
better alternative though: the 'script' utility in the 'util-linux' package.
