208	Logging ROPP messages to a file	Dave Offiler	firi	"Johannes Fritzer (GFZ) requests a facility to log ROPP messages
to an external logfile (other than indirection of stdout).

{{{
1) When integrating ROPP routines into an application that uses a
log file for documenting processing steps, diagnostics etc., the
output of the ROPP messages is not in sequence with those of the
application, since the ROPP messages are to stdout (causing them
to appear at the end of the application log file when redirected
to that log file).

Would it be possible to add a 
""subroutine message_set_logFile(logFileName)"" 
and a messages-module internal variable 
""msg_logFile"" which indicates a file, to which the ROPP messages
are written (without the formating used with the stdout stream)?

By adding a block in the file message.f90, which directs the
messages to the msg_logFile, if the msg_logFile /= """" and outputs
the messages to stdout as usual, if msg_logFile == """", this could
be done similarly as indicated in the attached files.
