I have an application where I want to (optionally) send my own debugging messages to the midas.log file, but am having some problems with this: 

* Messages with type MT_DEBUG don't show up in midas.log or on the messages page (calling cm_msg from python)
* messages.html is missing the DEBUG filter option
* Messages sent to other log files (not midas.log) don't get message banners on the web page. Is this intentional? 

So I think either there is a bug, or I need to start MIDAS with some flag to enable debugging. Looking at the source, I don't see why these messages wouldn't get logged.

Any insight would be appreciated!
