 having your `main` function (or even `init`) call `log.SetOutput()`.
 By using an `io.MultiWriter`, we can log to both stdout and graylog -
 giving us both centralized and local logs.  (Redundancy is nice).

-	package main
-
-	import (
-		"flag"
-		"gopkg.in/Graylog2/go-gelf.v1/gelf"
-		"io"
-		"log"
-		"os"
-	)
-
-	func main() {
-		var graylogAddr string
-
-		flag.StringVar(&graylogAddr, "graylog", "", "graylog server addr")
-		flag.Parse()
-
-		if graylogAddr != "" {
-			gelfWriter, err := gelf.NewWriter(graylogAddr)
-			if err != nil {
-				log.Fatalf("gelf.NewWriter: %s", err)
-			}
-			// log to both stderr and graylog2
-			log.SetOutput(io.MultiWriter(os.Stderr, gelfWriter))
-			log.Printf("logging to stderr & graylog2@'%s'", graylogAddr)
