You'll hate to hear this, but I ended up rewriting the patch to be a
`transcript' command. The follow-on discussion to my original patch
convinced me that the names ">" and ">>" weren't that great. Also,
going this route let me remove some of the hacks in cli/.

The new usage I implemented is:

transcript > FILE
transcript >> FILE
transcript | COMMAND

I never submitted my rewrite since I hadn't addressed the one
remaining problem, namely teeing. I can send it if you want it.

Daniel> tee file
Daniel> tee -a file

Maybe tee should be the default? My experiments using the transcript
code indicated to me that it is hard to use gdb when you don't see the
output...
