Actually, a way just occurred to me immediately after sending this. 
The proxy object that holds the stream ref that is the target of op<<
could hold a lock as well.  Still, I don't like this idea.  I prefer
the current design with its incremental formatting of individual
BOOST_LOG messages in a stringstream with flushing to the appenders
when the message is complete.
