I think I can get this in the beta while we're waiting to resolve the website and other things.

I'm quite liking this correspondence:

>>> for v in range(-2, 8):
...     print v, Py.levelFromVerbosity(v)
...
-2 SEVERE
-1 SEVERE
0 WARNING
1 INFO
2 CONFIG
3 FINE
4 FINER
5 FINEST
6 ALL
7 ALL

These are not all valid levels in Jython, but it seems as good a response as any to other integer values to map them so. We can go the other way too:

>>> for level in (ALL, FINEST, FINER, FINE, CONFIG, INFO, WARNING, SEVERE, OFF):
...     print level, Py.verbosityFromLevel(level)
...
ALL 6
FINEST 5
FINER 4
FINE 3
CONFIG 2
INFO 1
WARNING 0
SEVERE -1
OFF -1

Our default level (no -v flag) is 1 = MESSAGE = INFO, which is also the Java default, so it nicely produces "least surprise". I'm not sure what to do about about OFF.

I've yet to discover at what points I need to use these functions to keep things in sync, but writing them seemed a good starting point. They may not be public in a release.
