Hi,

I had some discussion with Marc-Andre about logging and error handling about 
two month ago.

My main problem with way it is done in freerdp at the moment, is that a GUI 
user will never see an error message (because it goes to stdout, which you 
might see on Linux if you start from a terminal, but you will never see it on 
windows, because there is no stdout for GUI programms).

Freerdp just terminates silently if anything goes wrong. An average user will 
just throw freerdp away as a broken bit of software, also the reason might only 
be a typo on the command line, but freerdp doesn't tells about it...

So Marc-Andre wrote down a few words about the needs of a 
logging/debugging/error handling system and I wanted to create some draft for 
the API. Unfortunately I was tight up will other projects, but now I have made 
a first start and it can be found below Marc-Andre's words on the wiki at 
https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/wiki/Debug-System .

I like to ask anybody to give feedback. If we can agree on an API I will 
implement at least a basic version of it.

Regards

Gerald
