NET doesn't add a ConsoleTraceListener by default, so doing so wouldn't be
compatible.

Furthermore, Mono DOES provide a DefaultTraceListener (as .NET does).  It's
just that by default the DefaultTraceListener doesn't generate any output. 
(This is also to mimic .NET, as .NET's DefaultTraceListener writes output via
OutputDebugString(), which has no Unix equivalent; key point being that .NET's
DefaultTraceListener doesn't write to stdout/stderr, but that's all that's
readily available on Unix.)

To configure Mono's DefaultTraceListener to write to stdout, set the
MONO_TRACE_LISTENER environment variable, e.g.

    export MONO_TRACE_LISTENER=Console.Out

See also the documentation at:

   
http://www.go-mono.com/docs/index.aspx?link=T:System.Diagnostics.DefaultTraceListener

You can also add additional TraceListeners via your .exe.config file, to e.g.
log messages to a file.
