# STDERR wrapper - discards STDERR if command execution was OK.

#
# This script executes a given command line,
# while saving the STDERR in a temporary file.
#
# When the command is completed, it checks to see if the exit code was zero.
# if so - the command is assumed to have succeeded - the STDERR file is discarded.
# if not - the command is assumed to have failed, and the STDERR file is dumped to the real STDERR
#
#
# Use this wrapper for tools which insist on writing stuff to STDERR even if they succeeded -
# which throws galaxy off balance.
