buildout.log for postmortem analysis

Is it possible to mirror all output buildout generates in console into separate file? This will greatly help in troubleshooting problems from various user installations on different platforms with different Python versions.

Could you draft some documentation describing the behavior you're proposing?

User story:
After running 'buildout' from directory containing buildout.cfg file, I want to see buildout.log file in the same directory with all the output printed to console while buildout was running. I'd like to have this behavior by default, but I also need an option to turn off log writing from buildout.cfg itself
