Thanks for all your feedback.

I've updated the lib so that it allows enabling/disabling of logs at 
compile-time, what Darren Cook asked.

In order to allow enable/disable at compile-time, all you need to do is 
declare the log like this:

// instead of BOOST_DECLARE_LOG(some_log_name)
BOOST_DECLARE_LOG_DEBUG(some_log_name)

Or, you can specify your own constant that can be 1 (enable the log) or 
0 (disable the log).

#define TESTING 1
// or #define TESTING 0

// if TESTING is 1, the 'test' log is enabled
// if TESTING is 0, the 'test' log is disabled
BOOST_DECLARE_LOG_COMPILE_TIME(test, TESTING)

(note: there's also an example: compile_time_logs)

I've seen that some of you have requested "levels", and yes, I should 
add them. I hope I'll have time to implement them soon (less than a month).

Anyway, I'll request a formal review after implementing levels as well.

Best,
John
