/**
 * A very simple logger that writes messages to a log file.
 * If the log file is not set, the messages are routed to the standard output
 * or the standard error depending on the level of the message.
 * By default, the messages will be timestamped but the logger can be
 * configured to not prefix the messages with a timestamp.
 *
 * Limitations:
 *     - not thread-safe.
 *
 * Example of use:
 *
 * <pre>
 * \#include "logger.h"
 *
 * int main()
 * {
 *     using namespace utils;
 *
 *     Logger::setLogFile("/path/to/logfile");
 *
 *     // log messages using helper macros.
 *     LOG_DEBUG("level: " << 3)
 *     LOG_INFO("init sound")
 *     LOG_WARN("not implemented")
 *     LOG_ERROR("resource not found")
 *     LOG_FATAL("unable to init graphics")
 *
 *     // log messages using APIs.
 *     std::ostringstream os;
 *     os << "level: " << 3;
 *     Logger::output(os.str(), Logger::DEBUG);
 *
 *     Logger::output("init sound", Logger::INFO);
 *     Logger::output("not implemented", Logger::WARN);
 *     Logger::output("resource not found", Logger::ERROR);
