I would recommend the Apache log4cxx library 
(http://logging.apache.org/log4cxx/index.html).  It's more immediately 
usable than anything I have seen submitted for Boost to date, with 
appenders for the Windows EventLog, Unix syslog, email, database, file, 
socket, and others.

Which brings up a question for the boost community: what is the stance 
on re-inventing functionality that exists in other external projects, 
working with other groups like the ASF to combine efforts,  or 
unofficially adopting third party libs into the fold?
