I'm working on a --logfile cli option so that revisor itself writes out
the log file in the correct location, rather then me capturing it's
stdout/stderr. That should get rid of the carriage returns as well as
the progress bars.

bfd709e4c761b47c7a40ae32dcbb886b59ea3981 seems to fix just that, which 
is overall awesomeness because now I can also see the progress of a spin 
while it's running (did not have that with capturing stdout).

Todays rawhide x86_64 games spin failed because there is a conflict
between different i?86 and x86_64 packages... I see livecd-creator only 
includes x86_64 packages when I attempt to compose 
fedora-livedvd-games.ks from the master branch. I'll look into this and 
let you know what I find out.
