Thanks for the info guys.
Yes, I am already developing on Linux (I am a long time linux user, I haven't touched Windows since win98). I'll start launching Gimp from the terminal and watching for output there

I'm assuming Jon is working on Windows. On Linux you can just start
gimp from a terminal and get all the output you need, but when I was
porting a plug-in I wrote to Windows, there was no info in the command
line, and I had to resort to printing stuff to the gimp error console.
Anyone know how to do this on windows.
One solution is, of course, to just install Linux (on a physical or
virtual machine) and do the development on that.
