RE: [GD-General] runtime error logging

[Tom F. <to...@mu...>]

We do three things. (1) surround high-frequency info with single quotes. (2)
hash the characters _not_ in single quotes. (3) check hash against a list of
"I've already reported that" errors. So you have:

LOG_ERROR ( "Unknown effect '%s' in mesh '%s'\n", sEffectName, sMeshName );

So this is a spritnf-style format string, and will come out to be something
like:

Unknown effect 'WATRE' in mesh 'blah.x'
Unknown effect 'WATRE' in mesh 'blah2.x'
Unknown effect 'WATRE' in mesh 'blah3.x'

...so then we remove everything in single quotes:

Unknown effect  in mesh 
Unknown effect  in mesh 
Unknown effect  in mesh 

...and hash those. And of course they all come out with the same hash value
and only the first one gets reported if you click on "Ignore all" in our
little dialog box.
