Pretty much everything is run directly by todo.pl, so you can put the
logging logic there.
Below is a patch which redirects all output from todo.pl, and anything
it runs, to C:\\netinst\\logs\\todo.txt. It always appends to the log
file, so you may want to delete it. It directs all output to the log
file, instead of the screen, so it will be hard to tell when the
script stops for input (abort/retry/ignore). Oh, and it is completely
untested :-). But it should give you some ideas...
I will think about how to implement this "correctly", since it seems
like a reasonable thing to want.
