That is true, the library has to be compiled. If it is to support
multi-module configuration with centralized logging control, I don't see
how it could be done the other way.

 From what I read there, I'm pretty close to that, aside this part:
"users of the library must be able to use the libraries without logging
enabled and pay no cost". The cost will always be there since there will
be a run time check whether to write logs or not. My lib does filtering
for that matter.
