I've attached a small tarball to this e-mail.  From the root of the dist
run:
  $ start_app --background --pidfile /tmp/app-server.pid

Once it has started you can
  $ wget http://localhost:3000

You can then see in app-server.pid that logging is now going there and
not to app-server.log.

If I figure out how I will append this to the RT ticket as well.
