<g>  I was just thinking the same thing last week, and trawling through
old lists found a real mess of views on what such a library should look
like.  It convinced me that our current library could be significantly
enhanced, but I'm employed to deliver solutions, not logging libraries!!

If you want to spearhead round-3 (at last count) it might be worth
setting up an project through the Wiki?

My main concern is trying to implement the logger-for-all-seasons. 
Looking back there were requirements for many disparate features.  I
think progress is more likely to be made delivering a core, smaller
logging system that is readily extensible (similar to the FileSystem
library approach)
