DefaultLogSystem constructor makes it hard to log to stderr

[rix0rrr]

For my testing program, I would like to log to stderr. The signature of DefaultLogSystem makes that quite hard though.

I would like to just plug in a pointer/reference to std::cerr, but according to the constructor it must be wrapped inside a shared_ptr.

For obvious reasons, I can't put std::cerr into a smart pointer or my program will segfault.

I tried making a wrapper object using Boost.Iostreams but for some reason that has a static_assert saying that I'm not allowed to wrap any of the built-in streams.

It would be good if there was a constructor where I could just pass in a naked pointer (or you supply an object that I can construct and pass that wraps another std::ostream).

What about making the shared_ptr deleter a noop?

Bret did something like you are trying to do in the android tests. I'm not
by a computer at the moment but you may want to have a look at that. I'll
have a look as soon as I make it to my machine.

Doh, that's a simple solution.

Still doesn't feel quite right but at least it gets me out of a slump right now :). Thanks
