It would be nice to store the log files of failed runs in a list, say the last 5 bad ones. Then instead of dumping pages of text to the console, we would just print an error message and say something like "run tikz_showlog to see the logfile".

This could also be extended to keeping every log if the device is built in debug mode which would help with package development.

Definitely need to get to this---upgraded to MacTeX basic 2011 and didn't have preview or collection-fontsreccomended installed. The resulting TeX logs in error messages produced by tikzDevice were absolutely worthless.

This could even be extended to a general tex log parser...

One thing I have thought about is loading the silence package by default to cut down on the log verbosity.
