Sadly, yes this is required in order to minimize wiki spam.  Welcome  
to the internet circa 2007. ;/  Still, I encourage you to register  
and contribute!

I can definitely see that side of things.  One thing that occurs to  
me now (and I've updated the wiki to reflect) is that it should be  
possible through the LOG_CONFIG_FILE to point the separate logger  
outputs to the same log file.  You should be able to mix and match  
them.  I haven't tried it, but I believe it will work.  Maybe that's  
enough?
