Item5278: bin/configure install error messages going to Apache error log rather than browser

I'm getting the following class of messages in the Apache error log for several plugins after installing them with bin/configure:

There's no indication in the Web browser that there are errors. I presume that these errors really should be redirected to the browser rather than to the log files.

Here are the plugins:

• EditRowPlugin
• FlexWebListPlugin
• FlexWebListPlugin
• MailerContrib
• TinyMCEPlugin
• TinyMCEPlugin
• TwistyPlugin
• TwistyPlugin
• WebPermissionsPlugin

It's independent of the plugins. the bug is in the installer code, which ought to redirect STDERR.

Reckon this is right now; errors reported to the browser. (trunk only)
