This is normal stdout output. Where should it go if not to the screen? 
Remember, XaAES will be shut down early in the shutdown process, so 
there is no AES console to catch this output.

It would look a lot cleaner (and also easier to read!) if XaAES could 
clear the screen upon exit. However, that would clear any output between 
the console app shutdown and the shutdown of XaAES itself.

However, there is no doubt that there's a lot of superfluous output from 
MiNT during shutdown, especially with low debug levels. This could be 
reduced to a minimum. In normal cases I only need to know that shutdown 
was successful.
