Not this.  It should behave like:

(gdb) set architecture
"set architecture" must be followed by "auto" or an architecture name.

so (slightly wierd) yes this.  Be sure to mention it in the help 
message.  Perhaphs, also accept ``set logging off'', and ``set logging 
on'' as those are the first things I'd try :-)

Hmm, just noticed, the options are optional, I was thinking that they 
were required.

	set logging [redirect|log] [append|overwrite] FILE

The syntax will lead to confusion with things like:

	set logging l
or
	set logging redirect a

suggest instead:

set logging on [FILE]
	default gdb.log, log, append?
set logging off
set logging file FILE
set logging append {true,false}
set logging redirect {true,false}

so that the [FILE] isn't context dependent.  Realisticly, I think people 
will only use:

	set logging on
	set logging off
