This is perfect... except I'd wouldn't go writing a whole trace lib. Just implement a custom TraceListener. This way it can hook into Debug and Trace Write calls alike via a configuration file (like any other TraceListener). Also, while it would be windows specific, you might consider just looking for a a listening app that uses DebugActiveProcess and WaitForDebugEvent with a DEBUG_EVENT value of OUTPUT_DEBUG_STRING_EVENT because the System.Diagnostics.DefaultTraceListener implementation on windows broadcasts via OutputDebugString. I'm sure someone has to have already written one of these.
