I've been learning qt on windows for a little while (background in unix/embedded) and would like to have stderr/stdout dumped out somewhere (unit test/event logging/debug) from my win32 qt GUI app. That seems to be a tall order in windows and [I found this post on stackoverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54536/win32-gui-app-that-writes-usage-text-to-stdout-when-invoked-as-app-exe-help) which explains why.

I find myself wondering why qt doesn't have a simple mechanism for performing some of the suggestions in the post for debug builds.

Does such a facility already exist in qt or am I left to roll my own (or find a syslog lib)?
