Several projects related to logging have been mentioned recently (see 
message below).  I'm about to throw another in the ring which could be 
used for primitive logging, although it's primary focus lies elsewhere.

The basic concept of logging is simple enough, but the wide range of 
useful implementation variations makes it really hard to envision a 
solid "one-size-fits-all" system.  It may make sense to start working on 
a common set of patterns for a logging system interface, which could be 
used to consistently encapsulate many different implementations.  This 
same issue came up in a discussion with Brian Baatz on profiling. 
Developing such an interface should be challenging enough, even without 
specifying implementation, but it's a more manageable first step.  It 
also seems like a good way to foster cooperation among the various 
projects while allowing  a healthy level of  diversity, ideally 
improving the consistency over time for "early-adopters" of specific 
projects.

I am still working towards improving my library.  I hope to put up a new 
version some time next week. (www.eng.buffalo.edu/~johneddy).
