That's probably the more traditional way, but (maybe I'm an idiot ...
strike that, I *am* an idiot, at least in this particular way) I seem
to recall seeing some buffering artifacts doing it that way.  That is,
STDOUT and STDERR buffer up lines and dump them potentially out of
sequence.  The nice thing I think I am getting with the script
approach is that I get output as it's emitted without the buffering.

Maybe I am just doing something dumb, or remembering (or
misremembering) from the caveman days.
