I use MG_LOG for these types of output. I can set a level (CRITICAL,
ERROR, WARNING, INFORMATIONAL, DEBUG) on each message so that the
printed messages can be conditionally printed by being compared to a
global level, i.e., set the level to DEBUG and all messages will be
printed or set the level to CRITICAL and only the CRITICAL messages will
be printed.

You can find MG_LOG here:

You will need other stuff from mglib also, so I would grab the whole
library.
