I've been wondering this for a while. Why are we not leveraging existing 
logging (syslog) methods? I know the answer is probably yet another 
dependancy, as well as additional overhead. However, it has the 
possibilty of simplifying the code as far as I can see (well, after the 
initial pain, of course)... Just an idea. I'm not sure if or when I'll 
get time to do it, if anyone likes the idea.

Cheers,

Allan.
