Yes, I very much want stderr to be forward. Without that you don't see
error output from dot or convert, and that makes it impossible to debug
anything. If I want a direct forwarding of the bytes, how should I do this
in python? Capturing stderr and then re-dumping it is kinda silly ...

Note that I copied this pattern from the kernel-doc extension, seems to
have worked there.
