[Stk] avoid stdout prints

[Gary Scavone]

Hi Norman,

In the latest version of STK, those messages are being "passed" through 
the handleError() function, which is defined in the Stk class.  The 
idea here was to allow the user to redefine the way messages are 
displayed by redefining that one function only.  There are various 
"error" message types and you can choose to do different things based 
on the type.  Unfortunately, most of those messages from WvOut are 
currently indicated as WARNINGs.  I created a new type for STATUS 
messages, but I didn't get around to making consistent use of that type 
where I should have (such as these cases in WvOut).  If I had done this 
correctly, you could then go into Stk.cpp and change the behavior so 
that "status" messages do not print unless in debug mode (or not at 
all).  I'll try to make that more consistent in the next release.
