Description

The information (known to me) written to stdout in maven-surefire-plugin-2.2 and surefire-booter-2.0 is:

• SurefireBooter writes "Forking command line..." if debug is enabled
• SurefireBooter redirects stdout and stderr of forked process to stdout (this one is most serious, I think)
• SurefirePlugin outputs summary and/or text report to console (I know it can be switched off and/or written to file, but I would like to have it written to log)

It is important to have all this information written to log instead of stdout, because information is "lost" if written to console and embedder is used (two or more embedders may run and confuse their output) and it is also important to be able to align such information with information already logged.
