logging config parameter is ignored

[Jehiah]

now that this is ported to twisted, the logging config parameter seems to be ignored

when starting up with 'twistd -noy /path/to/txlb.tac' logging is output to stdout (or stderr?) regardless of the logging xml directive. When dropping the -n parameter so twistd demonizes logging goes to ./twistd.log in the current working directory, also regardless of the logging directive

when not specified in the config file logging should be to stdout, when specified it should be to a file, and there should also perhaps be a way to disable logging? (or i suppose we could use /dev/null on a linux box)

Hrm. Don't know why this was set as "Won't Fix" -- it will be :-)

Hrm. Actally, I'm not sure about this bug now.

I've changed all the internal logging to Twisted's logging mechanism and removed the old, custom logging module that was written for PythonDirector.

In Twisted applications, logging is controlled via application startup... so maybe the configuration option can be used at the application level (.tac file or from the command line with twistd). Dunno yet. I'll have to give this some more thought.
