Re: [Mwse-developers] MWSE Log

i vote for a singleton, with functions like 'openLog(string fileName);',
'closeLog()', and 'writeLog(int State);' with state being an enum that
provides the importance of the message;
for example:
enum
{
INFO,
WARNING,
ERROR,
DEBUG
};

and, when the message had the state 'DEBUG' also log it to
'OutputDebugString'. (and to file of course).
