This is not a platform per se.

The above are more or less dead.  ('Mac' here means the old, non-Unix

These two platforms are a bit less dead :-)  However, you don't have
to take special care for them.

Windows is important and one of main reasons for contemplating on the

send stderr output to the console.

Note that I would like to have a fallback to stderr in case a logging
library is not available.
