Thanks Rainer. This is great. I will create some of the custom string
builder and put it back to your directory soon.

John, David,

I have just completed the implementation of this feature. The new code has
been moved to the master branch and will probably released as a new version
early next week.

Details in my blog post (be sure to follow the links):

http://blog.gerhards.net/2010/06/rsyslog-string-generators-done.html

Any experience reports are appreciated.

John, I think that you can use this for your project. The new modules are
located in ./tools/sm*.[ch]. They are not in ./plugins because the current
set are build-in modules, only.

Rainer
