Doesn't seem that complicated to me: elevel >= ERROR results in exit(1),
otherwise just print to stderr and return.  We'd be eyeballing each case
that we remove "#ifndef FRONTEND" from anyway; if it's expecting behavior
noticeably more complicated than that, we could leave it as-is.

Agreed, this is code cleanup not a high priority.
