Oh, this makes what it does much clearer than. Yes, this sounds 
interesting indeed. Though for my use, I would still need the 
command-line switch to control the behavior (I have a render-only mode 
to a visual effects product I develop) and because I need console output 
when running in that mode I currently need two separate applications.

BTW Hi Scott gotta say I appreciate your work with the Qt debugger 
extensions. I use them daily!
