SYNOPSIS
        #include <debug_message.h>

        void debug_message(string text)
        void debug_message(string text, int flags)

DESCRIPTION
        Prints the given text to stdout, stderr, the <host>.debug.log file,
        or any combination of these.

        The parameter <flags> is a combination of bitflags determining the
        target and the mode of writing.

        The target flags are: DMSG_STDOUT, DMSG_STDERR and DMSG_LOGFILE.
        If the flag DMSG_STAMP is given, the message is prepended with the
        current date and time in the format 'YYYY.MM.DD HH:MM:SS '.

        If <flags> is given as 0, left out, or contains no target
        definition, debug_message() will print to stdout and to the logfile.


EXAMPLES
        debug_message("This goes to stdout and the logfile.\n");
        debug_message("This goes to stderr.\n", DMSG_STDERR);
        debug_message("This goes to stdout and stderr.\n"
                     , DMSG_STDOUT | DMSG_STDERR);

        debug_message("This goes to stdout and the logfile, with timestamp.\n"
                     , DMSG_STAMP);
        debug_message("This goes to stdout and has the timestamp in front.\n"
                     , DMSG_STDOUT | DMSG_STAMP);
