Note that in bitbake master, we're using the python logging module, which
makes it extremely easy to inject extra metadata into messages, etc.  Worth
playing with.  Not sure what would be best to handle messages you are/aren't
interested in.  Some of those could eventually be switched to their own
loggers, e.g. domain BitBake.Task.Status or something -- alternatively, some
sort of messages classes implementation, or a pattern based message
identification, or add localization and go based on the pattern there, or...
