What is this, why don't I need it?

This is a very simple solution to a very specific problem. You are using the new cluster module in NodeJS. And you find that the logs of your spawned processes are not appearing in your production log tracker.

This module simply proxies console.log and console.error to process.send({ type: 'log', message: ... }). It also creates a listener in the master process, to receive those logs and spit them out in the main stdio stream.
