logging cleanup
------
Avalon/Phoenix needs to move from
dev-oriented debugging to maintainance-oriented (right?).
I'll look into that (since no-one else wants to =).
any comments/wishes/pointers here?

probably not. I'll leave the subject with a final thought:
one of the biggest problems in software development, or in
fact the technology sector in general, is lack of standards,
whether endorsed by a standards body or de-facto.
Think about power supply plugs, mobile communication
standards, middle-tier solutions, scripting languages,
word processor document formats, hardware drivers, etc,
etc, etc.
IMO the biggest advantage of Open Source community development
is that unneccessary duplication of code/efforts/manpower/money
happens a lot less.
Many separate open source projects would be more productive
and useful if they worked together more often. The reason
this does not happen is indeed neatly summarised in Peter's
e-mail sig...I try to not belong to "almost everyone"
whenever I can. And find out whether a mind should be
changed the most productive way possible.

- configurable support for e-mailing of logs.
- user manual.
- the isLoggingEnabled() functions - this speeded up my sample app
considerably. Figure that's true for logkit as well. (...)
oh. You've added that.
While we're at it, I'd like to have support for sending
logs to another app. (Reason: I'm looking into building a
management console for Avalon (perhaps even writing JMX
support, but I don't think I'm up to it), which should
have a "log" pane). No idea how simple this is at the
moment, btw.
'till sunday, all!
