For now, oe_note() outputs in the logfile, which is quite far away from where bitbake is invoked - moreover, in a directory which gets deleted at every 'bitbake -c clean'
It would be really nice to make it possible (which is very frequent when debugging a recipe) to just write debug output to the console.
