It was changed because the the messages were flooding the roots mailer 
and if you ran fixfiles by hand, it would slow down the process
if you were on a slow terminal.  You can still see the output by doing a 
fixfiles -l `tty`

I think this all needs a redesign,  maybe to write its output to syslog, 
but am trying to get test3 out the door now.
