I added a keyboard command in freewrl "`"  toggleLogfile() to give a way to turn on/off logfile logging once running freewrl. This will help avoid a lot of system noise on startup, and bracket other verbose commands.
- "`" - its the back-single-quote I have on all my PC keyboards, on a key shared with the ~ tilde character, above the left TAB key
1. if you specify a -L --logfile <name> on the command line it uses <name> for the logfile
2. if you specify no -L and are not in testing fixture or playback mode, it writes to logfile.log in the current working directory
3. if you are in testing -F --fixture or -P --playback mode AND:
3a) you specified a -N --nametest <nametest> then it writes to /fixture/nametest.log or /playback/nametest.log OR
3b) you did not specify -N --nametest, then it writes to /fixture/1_wrl.log or /playback/1_wrl.log for 1.wrl
3c) you specify a -L <name> on the commandline, it uses that.
.
I tested on win32 and linux, and works.
But warning to other platforms: it has a slightly platform specific way to toggle off logging:
#ifdef _MSC_VER
        freopen("CON","w",stdout);
#else
        freopen("/dev/tty", "w", stdout);
#endif
and this hasn't been tested on all platforms.
